Introduction

The life of the Institute was passing in relatively calm manner without any substantial shocks. In fact, the budget was somewhat reduced compared with previous years, but we obtained a few more grant projects and espe-cially external orders for different kinds of services and analyses. For the first time, we opened a tender for internal projects with a total sum of about1 million CZK. The aim of the tender was to obtain final data for success-ful publication of results especially for those scientists who were not suc-cessful in the tender for projects of the Czech Science Foundation. Totally 17 projects were selected by the tender committee. Evaluation and present-ation of the results of the projects was held in November. Most projects were successful – i.e., researchers obtained materials for a submission of a paper to peer-reviewed journals. Some results were already submitted or even published.

During the summer, the personnel situation in the Technical-Economic Unit was settled, the accounting activities are rendered again by a private company. As a preparation for the cyclic evaluation of teams and institutes of the CAS, we modified the Institute Organization Regulation – scientific units were renamed from Laboratories to Departments:some previous Laboratories included specialized laboratories and it was clear that a confusion in terminology should be avoided.

During November, the traditional tender for positions was held as well. This year, it was very successful with many external per-sons attending in the tender, four applicants were from abroad. The tender resulted in the employment of several young scientists, most-ly Ph.D. students and fresh post-docs (2 for Department of Paleobiology and Paleoecology, 4 for Department of Geological Processes, 1 for Department of Analytical methods). One foreign post-doc was accepted to the Department of Paleomagnetism. On the contrary, one researcher has to leave the Institute.

Our Institute was awarded the Memorial Medal at 60th Anniversary of the establishment of the Geological Institute, Slovak Acad-emy of Sciences awarded by the Director, GI SAS. The medal was handed over by RNDr. Igor Broska, DrSc., the GI SAS director, to the GLI CAS director at the occasion of the Festive Colloquium to the Anniversary held at the Smolenice Castle on October 16, 2013. At the same occasion, a Memorial Letter of our Institute was handed over to the GI SAS director.

2. General Information

Information on the Institute is available on the Internet: http://www.gli.cas.cz

The Institute of Geology of the Czech Academy of Sciences, v. v. i., is a public research institute belonging to the Czech Academy of Sciences (CAS). It concentrates on the scientific study of the structure, composition and history of theEarth’s lithosphere and the evolution of its biosphere. Although the Institute does not have the opportunity to cover all geologi-cal disciplines (in the widest sense) or regionally balanced geological studies, its activities span a relatively broad spectrum of problems in geology, geochemistry, paleontology, paleo-magnetism and rock mechanics. The Institute takes part in the understanding of general rules governing evolutionary processes of the lithosphere and biosphere at regional as well as global scales; for this purpose, the Institute mostly employs acquisition and interpretation of relevant facts coming from the territory of the Czech Republic.

The Institute of Geology of the Czech Academy of Sciences, v. v. i., is a broad-scope scientific institute performinggeological, paleontological, petrological, mineralogical and other disciplines, lately accentuating environmental geology and geochemistry. The major research areas covered by the Institute are:

- Petrology and geochemistry of igneous and metamorphic rocks- Lithostratigraphy of crystalline complexes- Volcanology and volcanostratigraphy- Structural geology and tectonics- Paleogeography- Terrane identification- Taxonomy and phylogeny of fossil organisms- Paleobiogeography of Variscan Europe- Paleoecology (incl. population dynamics, bioevents)- Paleoclimatology as evidenced by fossil organisms and com-

munities- Biostratigraphy and high-resolution stratigraphy- Basin analysis and sequence stratigraphy

- Exogenic geochemistry- Exogenic geology, geomorphology - Quaternary geology and landscape evolution - Karstology and paleokarstology- Paleomagnetism- Magnetostratigraphy- Petromagnetism- Physical parameters of rocks

The Geological Institute of the Czechoslovak Academy of Sci-ences (ČSAV) was founded on July 1, 1960. Nevertheless its structure had developed in the period of 1957 to 1961. During this period, several independent laboratories were constituted: Laboratory of Paleontology, Laboratory of Engineering Geol-ogy, Laboratory for Pedology and Laboratory of Geochemistry; Collegium for Geology and Geography of the ČSAV represent-ed the cover organization. On July 1, 1960, also the Institute of Geochemistry and Raw Materials of the ČSAV was established. This Institute covered technical and organization affairs of ad-joined geological workplaces until their unification within theGeological Institute of the ČSAV in July 1960.

On August 1, 1964 the Institute of Geochemistry and Raw Ma-terials of the ČSAV was integrated into the Geological Institute. On July 1, 1969 the Institute of Experimental Mineralogy and Geo-chemistry of the ČSAV was founded; a successor of the Institute of Geochemistry and Raw Materials was newly established. A part of the staff of the Geological Institute joined the new institute. On January 1, 1979 the Institute of Experimental Mineralogy and Geochemistry was integrated into the Geological Institute.

On March 1, 1979, the Geological Institute was united with the Mining Institute of the ČSAV under the Institute of Geology and Geotechnics of the ČSAV, and finally split from the latter onMarch 1, 1990 again.

On January 1, 1993 the Czech Academy of Sciences was established by a transformation from the ČSAV, and the Geologi-cal Institute became a part of the CAS. The Institute belongs to the Ist Department of Mathematics, Physics and Earth Sciences and to the 3rd Section of Earth Sciences. On January 1, 2007

Bilateral co-operation between Institute of Geology of the Czech Academy of Sciences, v. v. i., and Institute of Geological Scienc-es, PAS, Warszawa, Poland: Palaeomagnetism and magneto-stratigraphy of cave sediments in the Biśnik Cave, Poland (T. Madeyska, M. Krajcarz, Institute of Geological Sciences, PAS, Warszawa, Poland, P. Pruner, S. Šlechta & P. Bosák; since 1997)

The Biśnik Cave is an important Palaeolithic site located in the Kraków-Częstochowa Upland. The cave fill is a com-plex, well-stratified sequence composed of 35 layers/sublayersinterrupted by number of hiatuses and ranging from Pliocene till modern times. Fifteen Middle Paleolithic horizons, some of them among the oldest in Poland, represent the most impor-tant part of the sequence from an archaeological point of view. The recent multi-proxy study is based on the application of new methods for the site: analysis of sedimentary and post-sedimen-tary structures, and weathering stage of limestone rubble and fossil bones, pollen analysis, molecular biomarkers, paleomag-netic analysis and radiometric dating. Results indicated a more

intensive role of reworking and redeposition in the cave. Old-er sediments were transported into some stratigraphic horizons from sources within the cave itself as well as from outside, in-cluding paleontological and archaeological materials. Some the detected layers therefore represent a mix derived from different sources. A record of two interglacials (Eemian Interglacial, MIS 5e and Penultimate Interglacial, MIS 7) was established. Mid-dle/Upper Pleistocene sedimentary units were identified withMIS 3 to MIS 7/8 (Fig. 1), instead of MIS 4 to MIS 9 in the pre-vious interpretation. The age of the basal varicolored complex, previously interpreted mostly as pre-Pleistocene, was newly correlated with MIS 7/8 and Early Pleistocene/Pliocene (Kraj-carz et al. 2014).KRAJCARZ M.T., BOSÁK P., ŠLECHTA S., PRUNER P., KO-

Jama pod Babjim zobom Cave (Reg. No. 129; 860 m a. s. l.) is situated in the valley of the Sava River on the western slope of the Jelovica Plateau. The valley is a karst canyon between two high karst plateaus with numerous dolines and altitudes above 1,000 m a. s. l., Pokljuka Plateau in the NW and Jelovica one in the SE. The valley was glaciated and modified by a gla-cier from Bohinj Valley. The cave entrance lies under the verti-cal walls of the upper part of the Jelovica Plateau. The cave is 360 m long and 50 m deep. It consists of a horizontal passage and younger vadose shafts which pass through it. Several types of calcite crystals cover walls and fill wall niches and ceilingpockets. There are no traces of Pleistocene glacial sediments or inflow to the cave, although the entire Sava Valley was filledwith the Bohinj glacier.

The origin of the cave is complex. It was probably formed before the Sava River entrenched some 650 m and separated the Jelovica Plateau from the Pokljuka one, i.e. probably around the Miocene/Pliocene boundary. The cave could have been geneti-cally connected with some stage in the evolution of surface on the Jelovica Plateau, probably along a zone of mixing of mete-oric and hypogene (hydrothermal) waters. The hypogene waters ascended, like some of the recent thermal springs existing in the region. It is possible that the earliest stage was entirely hypo-genic. This idea is supported by the large calcite crystals (sca-lenohedrons) on walls of some cupola-like niches, on the walls and cave roof and special features of some other speleogens. Crystallization of large scalenohedrons and deposition of some other speleothem types probably originated from degassing of ascending fluids. Stable isotopic composition nevertheless indi-cates the origin from cool or low-temperature waters, which cor-responds to data of Otoničar (2013) obtained in other caves of the Jelovica Plateau. Smaller scalenohedrons were developed in cave pools and gours during later cave evolution, which result-ed from cold water speleogenesis in epiphreatic conditions. This phase contributed to some remodelling of the cave, especially of vertical shafts. Fine-grained cave sediments were also deposited. The massive speleothems and some vadose shafts were formed in vadose conditions. Evolution of the vadose elements was con-nected with the entrenchment of the Sava river-bed. Deposition of the massive vadose speleothems cannot be correlated with the recent climatic conditions at their present elevations (Gams 1962). The interpretation of palaeomagnetic data can easily sup-port ages greater than 780 ka in spite of quite high degree of spe-leothem recrystallization (Zupan Hajna et al. 2013).GAMS I.

Angiosperm pollen of the Normapolles group (Triangulipol-lis turonicus and Trudopollis sp.) evidenced the Middle Turoni-an age of the exposure at Kühleiten (2013 KÜH) while the dino-flagellate cysts (Palaeohystrichophora infusorioides), acritarchs Micrhystridium sp., microforaminifers and abundant phytoclasts of terrestrial origin reflected shallow-marine depositional condi-tions. Some redeposited Lower Cretaceous pteridophyte spores, i.e. Baculatisporites comaumensis, were found. Poor preserva-tion of palynomorphs was influenced by the presence of py-rite. Calcareous nannofossil Lucianorhabdus quadrifidus from ?Zone UC9a and Lithastrinus septenarius evidenced also upper part of the Middle Turonian age.

Ivankina, Joint Institute for Nuclear Research, Frank Laboratory of Neutron Physics, Dubna, Russia; 2009–2015)

Subproject 1: Experimental and theoretical study of elastic wave field pattern in anisotropic texturized rocks.

Results of the study relate to the influence of temperature andstress on elastic parameters of granulites. Mechanical properties of rock are changed when subjected to heat, due to a change in their anisotropy. The study was carried out on spherical granulite specimens, which were subjected to controlled loading and heat-ing regimes. The studied spherical specimen was subjected to confining stress loading up to 400 MPa. At different stress levelselastic anisotropy was measured in 132 independent directions. Consequently the rock specimen was gradually heated from 50 °C up to 600 °C. After individual heating regimes elastic ani-sotropy was determined at atmospheric pressure. After final heat-ing of the specimen to 600 °C, its elastic anisotropy up to confin-ing stress 400 MPa was determined again. The original rock spec-imen exhibited a weak anisotropy of 8 % at atmospheric pressure. At 400 MPa the granulite specimen is nearly isotropic. Heating of the specimen caused a significant decrease in P-wave velocityand a high increase in coefficient of anisotropy. Subsequent de-termination of elastic anisotropy of heated rock specimen under confining stress up to 400 MPa shows significant increase in P-wave velocities in all directions, which nearly reach the P-wave

The poor fossil record of the Mšec Member (Stephanian B) was described in the linear excavation of the Gazela gas line. The local bio/ecozone Sphaerolepis-Elonichthys was proved in the southern part of the Žihle Basin.

A synthesis of the Carboniferous–Permian (Stephanian C–Autunian) boundary sediments in continental basins of the Czech part of the Bohemian Massif was compiled. Both fossil and climatic records show that, apart from a generally known long-term climatic shift to drier conditions in Early Permian, the climate oscillated on several time scales throughout the

study interval. The floral record indicates the presence of dry-land and wetland biomes in basinal lowlands although their proportions varied significantly as the climate changed. The re-sponse of lacustrine faunas to climatic oscillations around the Carboniferous–Permian transition is less prominent than that of plants. The origin of the transition between the local Elonich-thys–Sphaerolepis and Acanthodes gracilis bio/ecozones around the Carboniferous/Permian boundary is impossible to deduce from the existing fossil record (Tab. 1).

The year 2013 was the last year of IGCP project No. 580 “Application of magnetic susceptibility on Paleozoic sedimentary rocks”. Leader of the project Anne-Christine da Silva applied at the end of 2013 for an extension of the project, so called O.E.T. status (on extended term) for 2014. If this is approved, the last meeting of the project will be held in Mongolia in August 2014 as a joint meeting with IGCP project No. 596 (the decision is not known at the deadline of the Research Report 2013).

In 2013 three Czech participants (L. Chadimová, O. Bábek and T. Kumpan) took part and presented their results at the last IGCP 580 meeting – an international conference, joint meeting of IGCP projects No. 580 and 596: “Geophysical and Geochem-ical Techniques: A Window on the Palaeozoic World” which was held in Calgary, Canada (August 27 – September 1, 2013). Three lectures were given. L. Chadimová and T. Kumpan took part also in the Training core workshop (Fig. 2) at the Energy Resources Conservation Board’s (ERCB) Core Research Center in Calgary studying Upper Devonian subsurface rocks and oil reservoir rocks of Alberta (Frasnian rocks of the western part of the Western Canada Sedimentary basin, e.g., Swan Hills Forma-tion, Leduc Formation, Duvernay Formation (unconventional) and Nisku Formation; Fig. 3). The workshop was led by K. Pot-ma (Esso) and J. Weissenberger (Husky Energy). Two days of field trips brought participants to outcrops in the area aroundCanmore, along the Canadina Rockies mountain front, west of Calgary to the Upper Devonian limestones at Grassi Lakes

(equivalents of the subsurface reservoir rocks studied during the core workshop) and the Devonian–Carboniferous boundary at Jura Creek (Fig. 4).

Special issue of Geological Society of London dedicated to IGCP 580 was proposed in 2013 (IGCP 580 Magnetic suscep-tibility a window onto ancient palaeoenvironments) – three pa-pers by Czech participants were submitted. These all three pa-pers benefited from international cooperation during IGCP 580conferences sampling campaigns in 2010 in China and 2011 in the Czech Republic.

Field work and high-resolution sampling for magnetic sus-ceptibility measurements and field gamma-ray spectrometrytogether with the refinement of conodont biostratigraphy andlithological characterization have been launched in Central Py-renées (Catalania) in Spain during spring 2013 (L. Chadimová, L. Slavík, J.I. Valenzuela-Ríos). Two Lower Devonian sections were studied: Compte 1 near Baro and Sort, in the Freixa Unit (Lochkovian – Emsian) and Segre II near Seu d’Urgell (Loch-kovian – Pragian).

Czech IGCP National Committee celebrated its 40th Anni-versary in 2013. A publication summarizing all IGCP projects with Czech and Slovak (and formerly Czechoslovak) partici-pation in its history has been released due to common effort of Czech and Slovak IGCP National Committees: Pašava J. & Vymazalová A. (Eds.) Forty years of IGCP: from Czechoslovak to Czech and Slovak IGCP National Committees. Czech Geo-logical Survey, 112 pp. The chapter dedicated to IGCP project No. 580 was compiled by L. Chadimová.

2013

IGCP project No. 580 was focused on application of mag-netic susceptibility to sedimentary rocks (mostly of Palaeozo-ic age – in most studies of Devonian but also to Mesozoic and recent rocks) and the use of these techniques for paleoenviron-mental reconstruction: as a proxy for impurities of different ori-gin trapped in the rocks which are delivered into the sedimen-tary environment and can be interpreted in terms of sea-level fluctuations, palaeoclimatic or tectonic changes. Three main is-sues were solved: 1) to compile available MS data collected by researchers and project participants and continue in collecting new data in the field during meetings, workshops and samplingcampaigns, 2) to identify the origin of the magnetic susceptibil-ity signal and identify magnetic susceptibility carriers, 3) proper application of this technique as a correlation, cyclostratigraphic and palaeoclimatic tool.

To sum up the activities of all participants and results of the project in the past five years we can conclude that: 5 IGCP 580 meetings were organized: 2009 in Liège, Bel-

gium, 2010 in Guilin, China, 2011 in Prague, Czech Republic (organized by L. Chadimová (Koptíková) and J. Hladil), 2012 in Graz, Austria, 2013 in Calgary, Canada), and the planned meeting in Mongolia in 2014 if O.E.T. is approved for 2014

Mobility Programme supported by the Ministry of Educa-tion, Youth and Sports of the Czech Republic, Project Code: 7AMB 12AR024: Thermochronologic constraints on the evolution of eastern Magallanes foreland basin sediments (M. Svojtka, D. Kořínková, D. Nývlt, Česká geologická služba, Praha, J.M. Lirio & R. Del Valle, Instituto Antártico Argentino, Buenos Aires, Argentina; 2012–2013)

The Mobility Program supports activities of international cooperation in research and development to promote the mobil-ity of researchers. The proposed project has two principal aims. The first one is to develop international cooperation with Argen-tinean scientistist. The second aim, a scientific one, is to deci-pher potential sedimentary sources and processes of sedimenta-tions in the Magallanes foreland basin of the southernmost An-des (Tierra del Fuego).

The Mobility program was divided into two parts. During our joint March fieldwork stay in Argentina, we focused on tra-ditional geological and petrological field research of the Ma-gallanes foreland basin sediments. We collected 10 samples of fine- to medium-grained sandstones to conglomerates in thestratigraphic sequence of Lower Cretaceous to Paleocene. In re-turn, Dr. Juan Manuel Lirio from Instituto Argentino Antartica (IAA) visited the Institute of Geology of the Czech Academy of Sciences, v. v. i. in Prague and also the Czech Geological Sur-vey in Brno. He practised analytical procedures of fission-trackmethod at the workplace of the GLI CAS and he also presented a lecture (“NorthWest Antarctic Peninsula – changes during the last 30 years”) at Masaryk University in Brno and University of South Bohemia in České Budějovice.

Pilot samples from tufas in different location within the Lip-tovská kotlina Basin (northern Slovakia) were taken by drill-ing (Fig. 5) in following bodies: Bešeňová–Drienok, Bešeňová–Záskalie, Čerená (abandoned quarry), and Liptovské Sliače–Ska-lie. The sites were carefully selected with respect to geological and geomorphological setting of each tufa body. All samples from Bešeňová–Drienok and Bešeňová–Záskalie sites showed normal magnetic polarity. Individual samples from Čerená indi-cated also reverse or transient/reverse magnetization, probably an effect of short excursions of the magnetic pole. The Th/U dat-ing was performed on Čerená samples. It is influenced by rela-tively high detrital thorium admixture due to the admixture of fine-grained siliciclastics taken from dissolution of underlying

Lokajíček, T. Svitek, M. Petružálek, H.R. Wenk, University of California, Berkeley, Earth&Planetary Science; 2013–2015)

A measuring head for high pressure system was constructed. The head will enable elastic anisotropy measurement of rocks by means of longitudinal and transversal ultrasonic sounding under hydrostatic pressure up to 100 MPa. An approach was also developed on how to measure spherical sample deforma-tion under hydrostatic pressure up to 400 MPa.

Grant-in-aid internal program of international cooperation projects of the Czech Academy of Sciences, Project Code: M100131201: Hi-res correlation and dating of Mid-Paleozo-ic sedimentary sequences of Peri-Gondwana using integrat-ed biostratigraphy and chemo-physical methods (L. Slavík, L. Koptíková, A. Hušková, J.I. Valenzuela-Ríos, J.-Ch. Liao & H. Sanchíz-Calvo, University of Valéncia, Spain; 2012–2015)

The basis of the international Czech–Spanish project is a de-tailed correlation of selected sedimentary successions of the late Silurian and early Devonian in peri-Gondwana (Prague Syn-form, Spanish Central Pyrenees and Carnic Alps). The correla-tion is based on application of several methods in the sections: the detailed biostratigraphic framework is supplemented by multiple chemo-physical measurements (i.e., gamma-ray spec-trometry and magnetic susceptibility) in order to avoid discrep-ancies in correlation of the peri-Gondwanan successions. A sub-

stantial part of the project is focused on conodont biostratigra-phy which is fundamental for time correlation.

The highest precision has been attained in the Lochkovian where numerous cosmopolitan conodont time-marks occur. These are mostly represented by taxa belonging to the genera Ancyrodelloides and Lanea with minor widespread of other rel-evant taxa as Flajsella, Masaraella, Pedavis and Kimognathus. In three key areas of European peri-Gondwanan sections (Span-ish Central Pyrenees; Prague Synform and Carnic Alps) the Icri-odus and Pelekysgnathus record is also remarkable and can help in increasing the detail of correlations. In 2013 the basic corre-lation of the major Lochkovian conodont time-marks was fin-ished and a draft of a refined biostratigraphical subdivision forthe key areas was made. This preliminary subdivision became a basis for correlation with even more distant regions, e.g., South-ern Urals and Northeast Asia. The biozonation established for the Pyrenees and Prague Synform has been successfully tested in the Southern Urals (Mavrinskaya & Slavík 2013).

According to the plan, the project leaders organized two field campaigns in 2013. First field work in the Prague Synformwas focussed on the examination of classical Lower Devonian sections and conodont sampling. The following field campaignin the Pyrenees concentrated on hi-res biostratigraphic correla-tion between th Czech and Spanish sections. Two Lower Dev-onian sections (Segre II near Seu d’Urgell and Compte 1 near Baro and Sort) were sampled for magnetic susceptibility, and gamma-ray spetrometric data were obtained. All the samples for MS were already meassured. Evaluation of the results and fur-ther fieldwork is planned for 2014.MAVRINSKAYA T. & SLAVÍK L. (2013): Correlation of Early

Grant-in-aid internal program of international cooperation projects of the Czech Academy of Sciences, Project Code: M100131203: Origin and characterization of mantle and crustal rocks: answer for deformation, thermal and geo-chemical evolution of orogenic zones (M. Svojtka, J. Sláma, L. Ackerman, T. Hirajima, D. Naemura, K. Yoshida & T. Koba-yashi, Kyoto University, Japan; 2012–2015)

In 2013, Ackerman et al. (2013) published results from iso-topic study focused on pyroxenites and peridotites from Horní Bo-ry, Bohemian Massif. We documented highly siderophile element (HSE – Re, Os, Ir, Ru, Rh, Pd, Pt, and Au) and S abundances, sul-phide petrography and 187Os/188Os compositions of two distinct suites – Mg-lherzolites and Fe-dunites/wehrlites. The Mg-lherzo-lite suite is enriched in IPGE (Os, Ir, and Ru), moderately deplet-ed in Pd, Pt and S, and has osmium isotopic compositions similar to that of the Phanerozoic convecting mantle. Such a composition can be best explained by a reaction between previously depleted peridotite and sulphur-under-saturated melt at low melt-rock ra-tios. The Re–Os data for the Fe-wehrlite/dunite and pyroxenite rocks yield an errorchon age of 334±19 Ma, which is similar to the age of other high-temperature/pressure rocks from the Gföhl Unit (Moldanubian Zone, Bohemian Massif); this age likely cor-responds to the time of melt-rock reactions and subduction.

2013

We also studied mantle-derived garnet-bearing pyroxen-ites form layers or patches within garnet peridotite bodies at seven localities from the Gföhl Unit (Moldanubian Zone, Bo-hemian Massif) both in the Czech Republic and Austria. We measured Re-Os concentrations in spinel and garnet pyroxen-ites. The pyroxenite composition of the studied samples rang-es from clinopyroxenite to websterite and they likely represent crystal cumulates (± trapped liquid) from melts migrating along conduits, and reacting with peridotite in a mantle wedge above a Variscan subduction zone. The studied samples have relative-ly variable Re and Os concentrations of 0.103–1.45 ppb and 0.18–1.84 ppb, respectively. Radiogenic 187Os/188Os ratios range from 0.1425 to 0.3247. This points to superchondritic γOs val-ues from +3 to +132. In contrast, most of the pyroxenites dis-play radiogenic γOs suggesting a variable but significant contri-bution of recycled crustal material (subducted oceanic crust) in the migrating upper mantle melts from which they were crystal-lized. This enrichment was most likely associated with Variscan subduction processes. Melt-rock reactions between previously depleted peridotite and invading melts with highly radiogenic 187Os/188Os composition (γOs up to +132) would lead to mantle refertilization with significant addition of Re.

In 2013, joint Czech–Japan fieldwork was carried out in theHoroman peridotite massif (Fig. 6, Hokkaido, Japan). This mas-sif is a MORB-related oceanic mantle subsided to deeper mantle

depth, before crustal ascension and emplacement. The structure of the peridotite body is layered, two main zones have been dis-tinguished: (A) Upper zone – core of an ascending mantle diapir with plagioclase lherzolites and harzburgites and mafic layers,and (B) Lower zone – margin of an ascending mantle diapir with cyclic layers of lherzolites, harzburgites, dunites and mafic layers.

The research activities were also focused on further stuides with P-T reconstruction and geochemistry of high-pressure/ul-trahigh-pressure rocks from the Bohemian Massif (Czech Re-public). Individual results were presented at the 10th Internation-al Eclogite Conference.ACKERMAN L., PITCHER L., STRNAD L., PUCHTEL I.S.,

The phases of movement of landslides in the Polish Flysch Carpathians were studied using a set of research methods ap-plied on speleothems in non-karst caves. These caves are formed by mass movements in sandstone lithologies. Flysch sandstones locally contain abundant carbonate cement, which results in the formation of usual types of speleothems in the caves. Spe-leothems of these caves are commonly destroyed or inclined as

a result of later phases of the landslide movement. Speleothems were studied by a set of geochronological and geochemical methods, which enabled to determine the chronology of land-slide movements from the late Glacial to the present. The land-slide movement phases are well correlated with periods of in-creased precipitation during the late Glacial and Holocene. An important methodical aspect of the study was the comparison of radiocarbon and U-series disequilibrium dating methods applied on speleothems with increased content of impurities. The results of the study were presented at several conferences, and a paper is under review in the Zeitschrift für Geomorphologie journal.

Finished projectsNo. GA205/09/0703: Integrated late Silurian (Ludlow–Přídolí) stratigraphy of the Prague Synform (L. Slavík, P. Štorch, Š. Manda, J. Kříž, J. Frýda & Z. Tasáryová, Czech Geological Survey, Praha; 2009–2013)

The global correlation of the Silurian is based principally on graptolites (mostly in shale-dominated facies) and conodonts (in carbonate-dominated facies). In many regions the graptolite and/or conodont biostratigraphy has been complemented by iso-tope geochemistry utilized as an event-stratigraphic proxy, and also by parallel evaluation of benthic and nektic faunas which serve as appropriate palaeoecological indicators. There still ex-ist, however, pending problems concerning the stratigraphic dis-tribution of key graptolite and conodont taxa, and in their global correlation. In general, the difficulties in correlation are causedby natural constraints (e.g., dearth of biostratigraphic informa-tion due to incomplete sedimentary and/or fossil record), further complicated by diverse scientific approaches to taxonomy andnomenclature.

Since the work by Bouček (1936) the Barrandian area has been considered a territory of high-resolution upper Silurian bi-ostratigraphy based on planktic graptoloids. However, the most detailed and most elaborated graptolite biozonations of the up-per Silurian world-wide arose from study of core sections on the periphery of the East European Platform (Teller 1997; Ur-banek & Teller 1997). Similar to other regions world-wide, the upper Silurian graptolite stratigraphy of the Prague Synform remained less studied than that of the lower Silurian. Local rea-sons involved less abundant and less diversified graptolites andthe rather discontinuous graptolite occurrences in limestone-dominated, relatively shallow-water parts of the upper Silurian succession (Ludfordian and Přídolí). Perner & Kodym (1919) subdivided the entire Silurian succession into only nine grapto-lite biozones. Ludlow graptolite biostratigraphy was developed by Bouček (1934, 1936). Prantl & Přibyl (1948) recognized fivegraptolite biozones within the Ludlow Series. Jaeger (1959) re-placed the M. leintwardinensis primus Zone with the S. linearis Zone (= leintwardinensis Biozone). Přibyl (1983) further pro-posed a considerable refinement of the Ludlow graptolite bio-zonation; some of his new biozones, however, met difficultiesboth in intra- and inter-regional correlations. For example, the biozonal index species Saetograptus insignitus Přibyl, 1983 is now considered to be a junior synonym of Pseudomonoclimacis

latilobus (Tsegelnyuk, 1976), a biozonal species used in Poland and Podolia (Ukraine). Přibyl (1983) listed many localities but did not refer to measured and/or figured sections. Štorch (1995a,b) described Ludfordian graptolites of the N. inexpectatus and N. kozlowskii biozones from a measured section in Kosov quar-ry near Beroun. The most complete upper Ludfordian graptolite succession was recently described from the relatively off-shore, shale-dominated Všeradice section (Manda et al. 2012). Frýda & Manda (2013) supplemented the existing biozonal chart with the P. dubius postfrequens Interval Biozone.

Conodont studies in the upper Silurian in the Prague Syn-form date back to the pioneer work of Walliser (1964), who included the conodont data from the area into his first biozon-al framework for the Silurian. He erected a stratigraphically important taxon “Spathognathodus snajdri” (types come from Mušlovka Quarry) that has an excellent correlation potential as shown for example by Viira & Aldridge (1998). With re-gard to the Ludfordian, Walliser’s original sequence of bio-zones – ploeckensis, siluricus, latialatus and crispa – has been changed only moderately through time by adding the snajdri Interval Biozone (for summary see Corradini & Serpagli 1999 and Corradini 2009). The snajdri Interval Biozone represents an elevation of Walliser’s former “snajdri-Horizon” to a for-mal biozone for global correlation purposes. Various conodont data including occurrences of index taxa from the Ludfordian have been reported from numerous localities around the Prague Synform, e.g., by Bultynck & Pelhate (1971), Walmsley et al. (1974) and Mehrtens & Barnett (1976). A comprehensive work on upper Silurian conodonts is that by Schönlaub (in Chlupáč et al. 1980 and in Kříž et al. 1986). He made a large summary of conodont faunas obtained from samples from several sec-tions and localities that were sampled and studied by him or by previous authors. Based on this summarized data he recognized the Walliser’s biozones: ploeckensis, siluricus, latialata, snajdri and crispa in the Ludfordian and eosteinhornensis in the Přídolí. Later, Carls et al. (2005) established in the middle Ludfordian a new spathognathodontid taxon Parazieglerodina plodowskii that is characterized by incipient alternating denticulation in some ramiform elements of the conodont apparatus. The strati-graphic potential of the innovative morphology in P. plodowskii apparatus has been evaluated in recent papers (Slavík et al. 2010; Slavík & Carls 2012) in which the Ludfordian conodont biozonation has been refined.

Upper Silurian sedimentary succession of the Prague Syn-form (Barrandian area) has been a subject of detailed study within the finished project. Appropriate sections were selectedto enable a complex study of biotic changes in marine environ-ment reflecting global events. Long-term detailed study of ma-rine faunas resulted in a substantial progress in relative dating of sedimentary succession at this stratigraphic level. The newly re-vised biozonation based on conodont faunas largely applicable in carbonates was proposed for the Ludlow and Přídolí Series.

Biozonation of the Upper Silurian of the Prague Synform is essential for global correlation within the Series but has long been delayed because comprehensive studies of neither the type section of the Přídolí nor the stratotype of the Silurian/Devoni-an boundary are available. Extant attempts at biozonation have originated in areas distant from the Barrandian and have all been found inapplicable (Carls et al. 2007). Within the project a tentative regional zonal scheme for the Přídolí has been sug-gested, including six biozonal units.

The conodont zonal scale for Ludlow has then been corre-lated with an updated graptolite biozonation that is applicable mostly in shaly offshore successions. A unique juxtaposition of both independent biozonations, that are normally applicable in different facies types, was facilitated by detailed study of strati-graphic sections with transitional facies development. The new-ly refined biozonations are then integrated with the generalizedeustatic and carbon isotope curves into a composite correlation chart. The stratigraphic level of major biotic crisis (mass extinc-tion – i.e., the Lau/Kozlowskii Event) in marine environment is now precisely defined within the newly established correla-tion chart for the Ludfordian Stage which represents a basis for high-resolution correlation of that region within global recon-

struction of the Silurian World (Slavík et al. 2013). The major biotic crisis in the late Silurian is also connected with geochem-ical composition of the Silurian Ocean. The integration of the biozonations in the late Silurian resulted in the high-resolution stratigraphy that enables very fine stratigraphic time-subdivi-sion. The biostratigraphic refinements are then a basis for de-tailed reconstructions of the biodiversity evolution and global changes of ecosystems with precision that extends far beyond the correlation achieved in other stratigraphic levels intervals. The project also contributes to understanding of progress of glo-bal crises (events) in the late Silurian and points to their poly-phase character. The evident linkage between biotic changes and global carbon isotope cycle was proved and the upgraded biozones of the Ludfordian Stage were directly correlated with the newly established chemostratigraphic zones (see Fig. 7).

Stratigraphic positions of major crises in marine biota (e.g., Lau/Kozlowskii Event, Leintwardinensis Event) were precisely defined. The effects of the conodont Lau Event in shallow wa-ter environments of the Prague Synform was rather moderate in comparison with Gotland. The post-Lau Event restoration of con-odont faunas following the characteristic post-siluricus faunas with diminished elements and dominated by Delotaxis was also gradual. This points to the absence of large gaps in sedimenta-tion that were characteristic below and caused disappearance of a large upper part of the siluricus Zone. Accordingly, the conodont record of recovering conodont faunas starting with the entry of

“slender spathognathodontids” is probably complete. Increased diversity and abundance of new-coming conodont taxa enabled a refinement of regional zonal subdivision. This includes a suc-cession of plodowskii, latialatus, parasnajdri and crispa cono-dont Biozones for the interval following the Lau Event in the late

Ludfordian. This subdivision may have potential for global cor-relation, when more data are available. The conodont data from Bohemia showed that the use of the snajdri Interval Zone for glo-bal correlation should be avoided, because taxa Pedavis latiala-tus and “Ozarkodina” crispa largely overlap. Similarly, the use of this problematic stratigraphical unit as a base for definition of the

“Stage Slice” for the middle Ludfordian is misleading. Conspicu-ous morphological changes in the snadri-crispa and Ozarkodina typica lineages allow refined inter-regional correlations.

The number of published studies on the composition and evolution of major macrofaunal groups (e.g., bivalves, cepha-lopods, graptolites or bryozoans) and its significance for the re-construction of paleocomunities evolution and global paleoenvi-ronmental correlations represent important scientific results thatarose from the project. Apart from the main and/or previously planned outputs several “by-products” can be listed. These in-clude, e.g., an independent correlation of the Silurian/Devonian boundary based on conodont faunas in shallow-water environ-ment. A novel petrophysical study (made extra plan) has been carried out in three carbonate sections using modern compu-ter data processing. The most important results have been pub-lished or accepted for print in prestigious international journals.

The aims of the project have been accomplished; howev-er, the number of results is so large that all outputs could not be published yet. Some specific problems, especially in the latestSilurian, will require further study.BOUČEK B. (1934): Bemerkungen zur Stratigraphie des böh-

No. GA205/09/1918: Soluble and insoluble fraction of inor-ganic pollutants in various types of precipitation, their quantification and input into the ecosystems (J. Fišák, Insti-tute of Atmospheric Physics CAS, Prague, M. Tesař, Institute of Hydrodynamics CAS, Prague & J. Rohovec; 2009–2013)

During this year of project solution, the main focus was on collecting the precipitation samples. A number of 396 liquid samples were collected together at four sites. Insoluble particles were separated from fog water samples and these particles were rigorously analyzed. Quantification of the deposited precipita-tion amount was also one of the major parts of the project. As a result of this objective, four gauges for the measurement of the precipitation amount were developed. The main attention of the first joint applicant (Institute of Hydrodynamics of the CzechAcademy of Sciences) during the project solution was cen-tred on two research lines: the experimental and the analytical ones. The monthly samples of the bulk precipitation in the open air area, throughfall under the forest canopy and surface water, were collected in the selected small experimental catchments in the Šumava Mts., in the Jizerské hory Mts. and in the Krkonoše (Giant) Mts. In the Šumava Mts. the samples of throughfall wa-ter were collected at two localities (i.e., under the spruce and under the beech forest canopies). In order to estimate the influ-ence of the occult precipitation on the matter balance, the sam-

ples of water from the wind-driven low clouds and fogs were collected and analyzed in the chemical laboratory. In each of the mountainous regions, both active and passive cloud and fog wa-ter samplers were installed and operated. From 2009 to 2013 the total amount of 421 samples of water of the occult precipitation were collected.

The attention was paid to the estimation of both the amount of water and of the matter input to the headwater region via wind-driven low clouds and fogs. Unique data sets on the as-sessment of water balance in the forest canopy ware obtained. These data make possible to evaluate the water balance of both the spruce and the beech forest canopy by taking into ac-count the interception and occult precipitation deposition. The wind-driven low clouds and fogs represent important deliv-ery mechanism for water in many mountainous region in the Czech Republic. The results obtained in the framework of this project were used as input data to models simulating the water regime of the water balance of small catchments and the run-off formation from these regions. The occult precipitation can also increase the water amount incoming to the soil surface and thus influence the soil water regime. The greatest significanceof the occult precipitation, including the water droplets depo-sition from wind-driven low clouds and fog, is represented on the concentration of pollutants in this kind of water. As a result, the substantial findings of this project can be formulated as theimprovement of our knowledge of chemical composition of the occult deposition and of the matter balance of a small mountain-ous watershed in headwater regions. The findings also obtainedin the framework of this project were used for the description of the relationship between precipitation, runoff, and loss of potas-sium and sodium ions in the closing profile of a small mountainbasin predominantly covered by spruce forest. It was found that extremely high sodium losses from the watershed are closely related to precipitation extremes. In contrast, the annual loss of potassium is not as strongly linked to the annual rainfall. More-over, in the framework of this project the automatic system for the monitoring of deposited precipitation and fog water sam-pling was applied at four sites – two meteorological observa-tories (Milešovka and Kopisty) and two field sites (Žloukoviceand Praha–Suchdol) at the Institute of Atmospheric Physics CAS. In the framework of this project the automatic system for the monitoring of the forest canopy was created at the selected localities that belong to the Institute of Hydrodynamics CAS in the Šumava Mts. (two localities), in the Jizerské hory Mts, and in the Krkonoše (Giant) Mts. This system is in a continu-ously operation regime in order to estimate the amount of the water input to the headwater region via wind-driven low clouds and fogs by using the balance of the forest canopy. Additional well equipped meteorological stations situated on the slope of Smědavská Mt. (Jizerské hory Mts.) and on the top of Poledník Mt. (the Šumava Mts.) were supplemented by both active and passive cloud and fog water collectors and by the equipment for a continuous registration of the dew in cooperation with the ap-plicant institute.

During the course of work, it was possible to improve sen-sitivity of trace element analyses due to the application of ICP MS technique, as the instrument was acquired by the Institute of Geology CAS. At the same time, ultra trace elements like U, Th,

21RESEARCH REPORTS

2013

and RE elements can be easily quantified and studied. As a result,it was recognised that Th is a typical ultra-trace element trans-ported exclusively in silicate-based solid particles, while its con-tent in the liquid fraction of atmospheric deposition is negligible. Uranium is distributed in a different manner, being present in the solid fraction and in the liquid fraction as well.

No. GAP405/11/1590: Neolithic rondels from the perspec-tive of micromorphologic and formative analysis (Petr Květina, Institute of Archaeology in Prague CAS, v. v. i., Prague, Czech Republic and L. Lisá; 2011–2013)

The project presents qualitatively new methods and results for analyzing and interpreting the Late Neolithic rondels (Kre-isgrabenanlage). Using detailed spatial analyses of artefacts deposition, AMS 14C dating of multiple samples and geological microstratigraphy (micromorphology), the formation processes were studied together with depositional events of rondel ditches.

Also the comparison study of formation processes which took place in the infilling of spitzgraben ditches of differentages was pronounced. On the basis of sedimentological and consequently micromophological study, processes of the forma-tion of the studied infillings were recognized. In the case of Ne-olithic rondels, two parts of infilling were distinguished. Lowerone is characterized by straight laminae, originated by proc-esses connected with vegetation ingrowth and rampart erosion. The upper part of the infilling is usually homogenous, originat-ed during the human-induced grading of the surrounding area. During this phase the remains of rampart constructions are most probably destroyed. The basic type of deposition – particular-ly well visible in the case of rondels – is the lateral plane wash with phases of bioturbation, running pedogenesis on the edges of the ditch or stagnant water within the infilling. The secondmain featuring process is mass movement, so-called slumping, particularly on upper faces of sloped sides. This process often happens naturally, mainly due to erosion, presence of water and vegetation. The most distinctive post-sedimentary processes de-termined within the rondel infilling was the bioturbation, accu-mulation of carbonates and movement of clay minerals caused by soil leaching. In the case of the V-shaped ditches of the Ro-man temporary camps it was possible to microscopically iden-tify a similar record documenting coarse particle sedimentation at the base of the ditch, whilst this layer is not continuous across the whole width of the ditch. It indicates the direction from which it was deposited. These are remains of an intentionally redeposited rampart. The upper part it typical for its increasing humification and bioturbation as a result of the emergence ofthe ditch infilling. However, similar formation processes can beidentified in both groups of studied V-shaped ditches and basicclassification can be outlined. Prevailing textural and structuralfeatures are distinctly different between the groups. This is pri-marily caused by geological subsoil conditions, hydrological re-gime and depth of the ditches.

Results from the study of Neolithic rondels are in agree-ment with the theoretical predictions stated in the initial stage of the project: archaeological material from the ditches is not relat-ed with the period of rondel function (whatever it was). This re-sult is in direct opposition with most published thematic studies.

Also the way of the extinction of the ditches was probably much more complicated than previously assumed. The results of the project have profound implications for future studies of Neo-lithic rondels and may help to solve the fundamental question of original function of these monumental structures in the future.

The proposed project assumes that the durability prediction of porous natural stones cannot be fully resolved without a de-tailed understanding of their physical properties, specifically oftheir mechanical behavior in the brittle field. Aims of the projectinclude laboratory rock mechanical experiments, microscopic examination and instrumental study, artificial laboratory weath-ering procedures, experimental uniaxial compressive and/or in-direct tensile strength tests, computation of the traditional ener-getic parameters, microscopic examination and image analysis quantification of microcracks, experimental data analysis andproposal of an expert system for the prediction of the durability of porous natural stones.

No. GA13-15390S: Re-Os geochronology of ore mineraliza-tions from the Bohemian Massif with possible metallogen-ic implications (L. Ackerman, K. Žák, M. Svojtka, J. Ďurišová, J. Pašava, F. Veselovský & V. Erban Czech Geological Survey, Praha; 2013–2016)

This new project is focused on the geochronology of ore mineralizations and related magmatic systems from the Bo-hemian Massif. In the first year, preparation of a collection ofmolybdenite, pyrite, and arsenopyrite samples covering vari-ous mineralization types (e.g., Sn-W, Au-W, Mo) from differ-ent sources (donations from museum collections, purchase from private collectors, individual sampling etc.) was accomplished. More than 100 samples (e.g., Fig. 8) were acquired for this

study and the work of suitable sample selection. The results for the first year of this project can be summarized as follows:1. Preparation and application of analytical protocol for Re-Os

isotopic analyses of molybdenites was established in a close co-operation with Prof. Robert A. Creaser (University of Al-berta, Canada). The method was successfully tested on several samples including reference material (NIST Henderson Mine). The method was also applied to determine the age of U-Mo mineralization from Kurišková, Western Carpathians, Slova-kia, the results of which are summarized in Kohút et al. (2013).

2. The Re-Os method was successfully applied for age determi-nation of Ni-Cu-(PGE) mineralization of the Ransko gabbro-peridotite massif, Bohemian Massif. Seven barren and min-eralized samples from the Jezírka deposit yielded a Re–Os regression of 341.5±7.9 Ma (MSWD=69). This age suggests close association of the Ransko massif emplacement with the late-stage evolution of the near Kutná Hora crystalline com-plex. The results were published in Ackerman et al. (2013).

3. Within the framework of this project, the method for accurate trace element analyses of molybdenites was developed using LA-ICP-MS system. We studied three molybdenite samples from Krupka (Sn-W greisen) and Mokrsko (Au-bearing quartz veins) with different morphologies (needle-like grains, large aggregates) from the Bohemian Massif. Molybdenite trace element heterogeneity at both localities was found in differ-ent contents of Au, Re, Te and also in Sb. The highest contents of Au, Re, Te and Sb were detected at the Mokrsko depos-it, whereas mean contents at the Krupka deposit were signifi-cantly lower. Also Bi and Pb display greater variance at both localities. The contents of Se, Zr, Nb, Ag and W show similar trace element distribution at both localities, and also in differ-ent morphological types of molybdenite grains from a single locality (needle aggregates vs. oval or elongated grains).

4. During the continuous sampling of ore mineralizations throughout the Bohemian Massif, the Obří Důl Fe-Cu skarn deposit (a unique and fortunately well accessible mine herit-age site) was visited. Large amount of samples (e.g., Fig. 9) including mineralized but also barren lithologies were col-lected to carry out a detailed genetic study including miner-alogy, geochemistry, isotopic and possibly fluid inclusionsstudied in the forthcoming years.

Moldavites are central European tektites genetically relat-ed to the Ries Impact Structure in Germany. However, source materials of moldavites and processes of their chemical frac-tionation are not properly constrained. Investigation of mol-davites indicates that, in parallel to sedimentary rocks, plant biomass could have supplied significant portion of source mat-ter as indicated by enrichments in contents of plant-essential elements, depletion in plant-non-essential elements and C and O isotope composition in moldavite glass. The project aims at exploring this hypothesis by C and O isotope analysis in glass and fluid inclusions in moldavites, as well as Si, Ca, Mg and Liin moldavites and sedimentary units of the Ries area by means of isotope mass spectrometry. Selection of samples for detailed isotope analyses will be based on prior geochemical characteri-zation. Further, Re–Os systematics, Cr and platinum group ele-ment contents will be studied in order to reveal any extraterres-trial signature in moldavites. These findings should constrainthe processes of tektite formation, with possible application in astrobiology.

No. GA13-28040S: Multi-approach study of processes in sandstone exposures: new view on study and interpretation of selected sandstone landforms (J. Bruthans, Faculty of Sci-ence, Charles University Prague, M. Filippi & J. Schweigstillová, Institute of Rock Structure and Mechanics of the CAS, v. v. i.; 2013–2015)

Four localities were selected for field study (active StřelečQuarry, natural sites of Mladějov I and II and natural and his-torical quarries of Malobratřice). All of them are formed in the Hruba Skala Sandstone in Bohemian Paradise. At each local-ity, the air humidity and temperature dataloggers were installed. Sandstone cores 6 cm in diameter were taken from each stud-ied exposure. Hydraulic conductivity and vapor diffusion coef-ficient (wet cups) were measured at cores. Access holes weredrilled at localities to measure the rock moisture content by TDR method. Rock moisture is measured on monthly intervals. In the Střeleč Quarry, 60 sandstone cores were obtained from two sandstone exposures with a relatively homogeneous surface. These cores were sealed by epoxy resin from all sides except the original rock surface. Cores were saturated and placed to

drill holes at the localities to measure the potential evaporation rate under microclimate of the locality.

Large effort was spent to quantify the differences between sandstone crusts vs. sandstone in subsurface. Crusts are gener-ally expected to strongly affect moisture flux due to assumed re-duced hydraulic conductivity. They may react differently to salt weathering than the underlying sandstone. The tensile strength and drilling resistance were measured at crust surface and be-low. Drilling resistance, hydraulic conductivity, vapor diffusion coefficients and apparent moisture diffusivity were measured atdrilled cores. Preliminary results indicate that hydraulic conduc-tivity differences mostly do not exceed one order of magnitude. Wider differences exist in apparent moisture diffusivity.

Experiments using hydrogen peroxide and enzymatic dis-solution by zymolyase revealed that the rock crusts are sup-ported mainly by the hyphae of lichens in the Střeleč Quarry. Li-chen hyphae are critical in protecting the surface from decay by weathering agents.

Various mineralogical and geochemical methods were used for the identification of the cement mineralogical compositionand thus its significance in the fabric cohesion of the sandstones.First, the samples of weakly cemented quartzose sandstones from different sites were studied using the binocular microsco-

py (BM) to document (select) and later identify possible mineral phases composing the cement of the sandstone. Binocular mi-croscopy indicated that cement is quite rare in the studied sam-ples and its contents seem to be variable. Based on the results of the binocular study, selected fragments of the sandstones were analyzed by a powder X-ray diffraction method (XRD) and more than 10 polished sections were prepared for the study us-ing a polarizing microscope (PM) and scanning electron micro-scopy (SEM). The addition of blue dye into the epoxide resin was used within the preparation of the polished sections to sim-ply distinguish the quartz grains and pore spaces and thus ef-fectively study the grain to grain and cement to grain contacts (Fig. 10). Leaching of selected samples with apparently con-trasting amounts and colors of the cements was performed to estimate the significance of these cements in particular samples.We used various concentrations of a citrid, hydrochloric and hy-drogen fluorid acids.

The project is aimed to: (1) aggregate sampling; (2) labora-tory preparation and analysis of ASR (alkali silicate reaction) of aggregates employing accelerated mortar bar test; (3) modifica-tion of seismoacoustic emission monitoring under special exper-iment conditions; and (4) development of high temperature AE transducers and complete monitoring system.

In the first quarter of 2013, different approaches were test-ed to protect the ultrasonic/AE sensors against the influence ofNaOH solution. No method was found effective to protect the sensors. Even epoxy resin layer resists to 80 °C solution for only one week. Due to this fact, a decision was made to leave the sensors outside the measuring chamber and to use special steel 316L as waveguides. First solution of outside sensor posi-tioning was made by institute workshop. Four measuring cycles were applied (each about 30 days’ duration) to different con-crete blocks. The first cycle was used for a complete measur-ing system tuning to find the way for next measurements. Threeremaining measuring cycles were based on measuring a setup where each concrete block was monitored by 3 ultrasonic sen-sors. There was used 316L steel waveguide between the block and the sensor. Measurements showed several important de-pendencies based on regular ultrasonic sounding of block during the experiment. Ultrasonic sounding revealed that during first3–7 days of the test run, an increase in P-wave velocity, increase in energy and amplitude transfer are observed. After this period, this maximum value remains stable for several days. After this time, a continued decay of P-wave velocity, energy and ampli-tude transfer is observed. An ultrasonic wave high-frequency fil-tration was also observed before and after the test run. The tests revealed that such an arrangement of ultrasonic sensors place-ment going through the upper cover gives a lot of acoustic emis-sion noise, as well as changes in contact conditions between the sensors, waveguides and the sample. Due to this fact a decision was made to reconfigure the sensors position, when only twosensors were used for block sounding/monitoring. The sensors were tightly connected with the measuring chamber body. Af-ter this modification, one measuring cycle started just at the endof year 2013. Some of the results of the project were presented at two local scientific meetings and at one international – DRT2013, Leuven Belgium.

No. GAP210/10/2351: Palaeomegnetism & geochemistry of volcanic rocks: Implications to palaeosetting and develop-ment of the Prague Basin (Late Ordovician - Early Devo-nian) (P. Pruner, P. Schnabl, P. Štorch, L. Koptíková, G. Kletet-schka, Z. Tasáryová, T. Hroch, Š. Manda, J. Frýda, V. Janoušek & P. Kraft, Faculty of Science, Charles University, Prague; 2010–2014)

We applied, evaluated and integrated geochemical, palaeo-magnetic, rockmagnetic and stratigraphic methods on selected Ordovician and Silurian volcanic–sedimentary successions in the Prague Basin. Paleomagnetic research was centred on Vina-řice locality in the Suchomasty Volcanic Centre. Further detailed investigation was carried out also in the Kosov section (Kosov Volcanic Centre). Vinařice and Kosov basalts, their contact au-reoles and adjacent country rocks were sampled for palaeomag-netic analyses. Laboratory experiments included: (a) progressive

thermal demagnetisation using the MAVACS (Magnetic Vacuum Control System) equipment with a step interval of 40 °C, (b) al-ternating field (AF) demagnetisation using a SuperconductingCryogenic Magnetometer (type 755 4 K) with steps at 5 mT to 20 mT, and (c) separation of the remanent magnetisation (RM) directions using principle component analysis. Palaeomagnet-ic analyses of the Vinařice lava samples (Vin-1, Vin-2), dated into the late Gorstian S. chimaera Biozone, yielded low mag-netic remanent magnetisation (Jn = 0.03–0.17 mA/m) c. 60 % and low magnetic susceptibility (MS = 86–333×10-6 Sl) c. 50 %, respectively, of the values in other Silurian volcanic rocks (Jn ca 1.10 mA/m; MS ca 7,000×10-6 Sl). Such values may result from a higher Ti content within the titanomagnetite phases in the Vinařice lava samples. As for the Vinařice locality, princi-pal component analysis identified that 15 samples were remag-netised during the Variscan orogeny. The characteristic prima-ry component C was determined in the temperature range of 280–480 °C (540 °C) and by alternating field (AF) in the rangeof 40–50 (60) mT. On the basis of mean palaeomagnetic direc-tions calculated from samples of Vin-1 and Vin-2, palaeolati-tudes of 22.5° and 25.2° on the southern hemisphere were com-puted. Secondary remanent magnetisation component B, reflect-ing altered titanomagnetite or magnetite presence, was deter-mined in the temperature range of 80–280 °C (320 °C) and by alternating field (AF) in the range of 5–25 (30) mT. Major paleo-magnetic characteristics inferred from component B achieved values of: D = 217°, I = 25° for Vin-1 and D = 235°, I = 23° for Vin-2. Computed palaeolatitudes without tilt correction yielded 13° (Vin-1) and 12° (Vin-2) that plot to the southern hemisphere.

Remanent magnetisation component C was determined by a higher temperature range than component B, which indicates that C is the primary magnetisation. This is in agreement with published data. The interpretation of a secondary remanent magnetisation component B involves either 170° counter-clock-wise or 190° clockwise rotation of the Prague Basin during the Variscan orogeny. On the basis of the mean palaeomagnetic di-rection calculated from all samples, a palaeolatitude of 24.4° lo-cated on the southern hemisphere is estimated for the Vinařice locality, which concurs with the model published by Cocks & Torsvik (2006). Palaeomagnetic data from Vinařice locality al-lowed the computation of mean palaeolatitude of 24.4° on the southern hemisphere for the Suchomasty Volcanic Centre and hence for the western segment of Prague Basin in the Gorstian (lower–middle S. chimaera Biozone).

Magnetic scanning: Without magnetic maps produced by magnetic scanner the demagnetization of the remanence would be quite complicated. There are several pole directions and it is diffi-cult to figure out which is the primary and which is the secondarycomponent of magnetization. Even harder is to assign a specifictime to individual components. However magnetic maps helped to localize the magnetic minerals by detecting their saturation isothermal remanence imparted by 3 T pulse magnetic field par-allel to the rocks’ thin sections. In general, saturation remanence is about two orders of magnitude larger than natural remanence (NRM) that carries the paleomagnetic information. This method was used for a detailed study of samples from the Kosov site.

data for volcanic activity in: 1) Wenlock and 2) Ludlow. A multi-disciplinary palaeomagnetic, geochemical and volcanological study of the latest phase of Silurian volcanism in the Prague Basin was presented at IGCP 591 international meeting in June 2013. Moreover, correlation of palaeolatitude, geotectonic set-ting and eruption character of the Suchomasty Volcanic Centre in the western tectonic segment was evaluated for the Gorstian stage, i.e., for the latest phase of Silurian volcanism in the Prague Basin, and published in a peer-reviewed journal (Tasáryová et al. 2014).

Petrophysical data from the late Silurian (Ludlow) Lau event interval in the Požáry and Mušlovka sections representing shallow-water facies in the Prague Synform were extended and additional measurements and methods were applied. Frequency-dependent magnetic susceptibility (MS) measurents and dynam-ic time-warping algorithm (DTW) for comparison of magnetic susceptibility logs were applied. The results were summarized in the paper by Chadimová et al. and submitted to the Geological Society of London Special Publication dedicated to IGCP580 (Magnetic susceptibility a window onto ancient palaeoenviron-ments). The paper is under review now.

Dynamic time warrping (DTW) alignment shows that the Mušlovka represents a less complete succession when com-pared to the Požáry section. DTW alignment of the MS logs shows perfect match of the logs and detected several promi-nent and minor gaps. MS logs show elevated values at both sections across the Lau Event interval and coincide with the uppermost part of the siluricus Biozone. Magnetite was identi-fied as the main carrier of the magnetic susceptibility signal atboth sections. Hematite and minerals with paramagnetic charac-teristics contribute in the lowermost and uppermost part of the Mušlovka section. Gamma-ray spectrometric logs across the Lau Event interval at both sections seem to be driven by fine-grained detrital siliciclastic grains. The Požáry section shows a higher influx of these impurities. Frequency-dependent MSmeasurements revealed occurrence of superparamagnetic (SP) particles at both sections in all selected samples. A contribution of SP particles to the MS signal is the highest in the Lau Event interval in the Požáry section.

Petrophysical data including magnetic susceptibility meas-urements and gamma-ray spectrometry in the Kosov section – a deeper-water equivalent of the Požáry and Mušlovka sections – across the late Silurian Lau Event interval were acquired in 2013.

Besides the volcanic rocks, also the sedimentary rocks inter-layered with volcanic bodies were subject of the planned studies which were focused on different structural and diagenetic fea-tures having the potential to explain the variability in measured magnetic signal and/or provide more details on the origin of rockmagnetic signatures.

Close attention was paid to the successive analyses of argil-laceous carbonate concretions in the Kosov Quarry near Ber-oun (Homerian Stage, Wenlock Series, late mid Silurian ages of about 426 Ma; Liteň Formation, Motol Member). The “concre-tion” objects K6, K7 and K8 were characterized by means of microscopic optical methods in thin sections and X-ray diffrac-tion analyses of powdered samples. The first results suggestthat these objects represent one of the earliest “mineralogically” closed and blocked rock fabrics, where the sedimentary mate-

rial was spared of damage which came from overall dissolution and compaction up to 10:1 that was accompanied by subse-quent alterations which was coming with eo-Variscan, Varis-can and younger deformation events. These concretions, how-ever, do not show absolutely undisturbed structures, although the fine primary sedimentary fabrics are relatively well pre-served. It is because of the fact that these concretions are typi-cally built of hypidiotopic to xenotopic (inequigranular to equi-granular), 5–20 μm-sized, carbonate (Mg-calcite and calcite) mosaics spreading through these concretions from their upper-most central parts toward their margins (like a fan, and mostly downwards). Major part of the mineral phases with significantmagnetic properties was moved toward the edges of the penetra-tive, microcrystalline carbonate aggregates and/or located along tiny interstitial spaces (sutures between crystals). Nonetheless, this is not a negative message because this concretion-forming crystallization process drastically reduced the rock porosity and practically blocked the subsequent re-crystallization very soon, as estimated, within tens of thousands of years after the material deposition. An interesting finding is that these concretions canwidely vary in composition and proportions of non-carbonate minerals. Iron-rich chlorites, indicated by XRD, are currently studied in concentrates obtained from these materials.

In the overlying rocks of Devonian age, the attention was paid to iron-rich, argillaceous limestones with rock-forming content of tiny dacryoconarid shells. An enormous amount of these narrow conical (linear) objects in the rock is linked with diagenetic fabrics connected with Fe-oxides and oxyhydroxides, thus influencing the magnetism-related microfabrics. For expla-nation of the sedimentary mechanisms responsible for templates of these microfabrics, the phenomenon of multiple dacryoconar-id shell insertion (telescoping) was found as a critical moment and was, therefore, studied by petrological and experimental methods.

In addition, this project allowed to deepen knowledge of ba-salts and limestones in general. At this particular point, it relates to changes between the rocks which are relatively unaffected and, on the other hand, strongly affected by subsequent weath-ering processes. Some of these results have already been sum-marized and will contribute to the publication on weathering of carbonate rocks (and mineral composition of the weathering products, ending with notes on origin and mineral composition of rendzic leptosols).COCKS L.R.M. & TORSVIK T.H. 2006: European geography

No. GAP210/11/1369: The fate of legacy mercury in forest ecosystems in the area of the Black Triangle, Czech Repub-lic (T. Navrátil, J. Rohovec, I. Dobešová, J. Buchtová, P. Krám, J. Hruška, F. Oulehle & O. Myška, Czech Geological Survey, Praha; 2011–2014)

Continued sampling of stream water at 5 selected catch-ments Lesní potok, Lysina, Pluhův bor, Jezeří a Liz (LES, LYS, PLB, JEZ and LIZ) enabled to assess the expected relationship between concentrations and export of dissolved organic matter (DOC) and Hg. But first of all, the UV absorbance (Abs254) andabsorbance (Abs410) were evaluated as a useful proxy for DOC at all 5 sites. This was demonstrated by high statistical correla-tion between Abs254 and DOC, where 75 to 95 % of Abs254 variability could be explained by changes in DOC. Similar, even stronger statistical relationships were observed in terms of Abs410 and DOC concentrations (72 to 99 %) but with the ex-ception of catchment JEZ (29 %). The mean DOC concentration in stream water at JEZ catchment was the lowest (3.1 mg.l-1) of all the studied sites thus the Abs410 values are too close to the detection limit of UV absorbance at 410nm measurements. Mean concentrations of DOC in stream waters of other catchments were significantly higher (5.3, 11.9, 15.8 and 22.1 mg.l-1) at LIZ, LES, LYS and PLB (Navrátil et al. 2013).

The highest mean Hg concentration (21.6 ng.l-1) in the studied stream water is in compliance with the highest DOC concentra-tion at PLB. The mean Hg concentration in PLB stream water is relatively high even by the World‘s measures. We suspect that it is not due to previous pollution of ecosystem by Hg atmos-pheric pollution there but due to relatively rapid DOC turnover and hydrological conditions with shallow flow paths. The low-est mean Hg concentration (2.1 ng.l-1) in stream water occurred at site LIZ, which was supposed to be the site with the least Hg atmospheric load. At the same time LIZ stream water was char-acterized by relatively low DOC concentrations thus the con-nected Hg concentrations should be low. The estimated Hg out-put fluxes from the selected sites were in the range from 0.3 to5.9 μg.m-2 while relevant range for DOC was 651 to 6,444 μg.m-2 (Navrátil et al. 2013). Calculated fluxes of exported Hg wererelated to the level of DOC export, not to the previous level of atmospheric pollution by Hg. This means that the stability of the soil organic matter at a particular site determines the output flux of Hg.

In year 2013 the meteorological situation in May/June pe-riod brought high levels of precipitation. The stream water at all sites except site JEZ were sampled during this extreme dis-charge event during the summer period. The discharge at site LES located in central part of the Czech Republic increased from average 1 l.s-1 to 192 l.s-1 (Fig. 11) which represents the highest discharge since the beginning of monitoring in year 1993. The turbulent flow caused mobilization of fine particu-lates from the streambed and riparian soil areas. Thus we meas-ured not only the export of dissolved THg but also THg bound to carried fine particulate matter. The rate of export of dissolvedHg was not evaluated yet but the mass of Hg exported from the

forest ecosystems in the form of suspended solid particulate matter will be extensive. First measurements indicated that THg concentrations found on the sampled suspended solid particu-late matter (490–1,086 μg.kg-1) were greater than those found in soils (393 and 54 μg.kg-1 in organic and mineral soils). Thus the output flux in the form of suspended solid particulate matterduring this extreme episodic situation will be substantial even with respect to the annual Hg export.

Data and knowledge on Hg in forest soils at selected sites throughout the Czech Republic were summarized in a single publication (Navrátil et al. 2014). Hg deposition associated with the extreme levels of S and N deposition was not directly meas-ured thus we calculated Hg deposition rates from peat cores (100 μg m-2 yr-1). We quantified the soil concentrations and poolsof Hg with carbon (C), sulfur (S) and nitrogen (N) – elements closely associated with soil organic matter at five sites across theCzech Republic – four sites known for extreme deposition lev-els of S and N compounds in the 20th century, and one site rela-tively less impacted. The site specific means of O horizon Hgconcentrations ranged from 277 to 393 μg.kg-1, while means of Hg concentrations in mineral soil ranged from 22 to 95 μg.kg-1. The mean Hg:C ratio across sites increased from 0.5 μg Hg g-1 C in the Oi-horizon to 5 μg Hg g-1 C in the C-horizon due to the progressive mineralization of soil organic matter. The soil Hg:C increase was accompanied by a soil C:N decrease, another in-dicator of soil organic matter mineralization. Soil Hg:C also in-creased as soil C:S decreased, suggesting that Hg was stabilized by S functional groups within the soil organic matter. Mineral soil Hg pools (9–130 mg.m-2) dominated over organic soil Hg pools (5–10 mg.m-2) at all sites. Mineral soil Hg pools corre-lated more strongly with total soil S and oxalate extractable Fe than with total soil C. Total soil Hg pools could be accounted for by a time period of atmospheric inputs that was short rela-tive to the age of the soils. The association of Hg to TS follows from the known affinity of Hg for S functional groups in organicmatter. The cross-site differences in mineral soil Hg pools were explained primarily by differences in soil thickness and the abil-ity of the soil to store (stabilize) organic material. The least im-pacted site LIZ in terms of atmospheric loadings had the greatest soil Hg pool. The Hg turnover times in the soil were only a small fraction of soil age, further underscoring that local soil charac-teristics and vegetation are more important than Hg deposition history.

In the course of analytical works performed in 2013, the liquid/liquid MeHg separation and pre-concentration tech-nique elaborated in 2012 was widely applied on various envi-ronmental samples. We successfully quantified MeHg amountsin sediments, performing MeHg separation on suspensions of sediments in the standard acidic aqueous phase medium (dis-tilled H2O, HBr, CuSO4) combined with the organic extraction solvent dichloromethane (DCM). Methylmercury extracted in the form of MeHgBr was quantified using HPLC-ICP-MS, lead-ing to MeHg values safely exceeding the MDL (method detec-tion limit, sub ng l-1). Analysis of liquid environmental samples (stream water, soil solution) was much more complicated. The overall progress in analytical procedure was presented in the form of a poster at attended conference meeting (Rohovec et al. 2013).

The activities held during the second year of the project were focused on the following topics: (a) database tuning and its filling

with data, (b) fieldwork including collection of fossils, (c) studyof borehole cores and their sampling, (d) gathering the graphic borehole documentation, e) study of petrified plant fossils.

Data were extracted from published papers (e.g., Němejc, Šetlík, Kalibová) as well as unpublished archival reports and manuscripts (e.g., Šetlík, Rieger, Purkyňová, Valterová, Bek). Another equally important source of data is represented by col-lections of plant fossils stored in various domestic institutions as well as in collections abroad. These include specimens from the collections of the West Bohemian Museum, Pilsen, National Museum, Prague, Czech Geological Survey, Prague, Faculty of Science, Charles University, Prague, museums für Naturkunde in Chemnitz and Berlin (Germany), Museum für Naturkunde in Vienna (Austria) and the collection of Technische Universität in Freiberg (Germany) where specimens from Czech basins are stored. Only stratigraphically precisely located specimens were included in the database. Already fully completed is the fossil record from the Kounov Coal that will be used for preparation of an article in 2014. Currently, about 5,200 specimens of mac-rofossils and 2,000 palynological samples with several thou-sands miospore records have been inserted into the database. They come from c. 500 localities, stratigraphically ranging from the Langsettian to Gzhelian. It should be emphasized that an at-tempt to convert data of partly databased collection of the Na-tional Museum in Prague into the project MafDat database has been made at the end of the 2013. The current results suggest

that this process is feasible and transfer of 12,200 specimens from the National Museum plant fossil database will be possible during the third (2014) year of the project duration.

Fieldwork including collection of fossils was an important part of the activity related to the project. The team members ex-plored plant-bearing successions in the Pilsen (loc. Kamenný Újezd, Týnec, Doubrava), Radnice (loc. Břasy), Kladno–Rako-vník (loc. Lubná) and Intra-Sudetic (loc. Žacléř) basins. A ma-jor collection has been gathered from a large excavation in the Kamenný Újezd near Nýřany where plant assemblage buried in situ by volcanic ash was exposed over an area of about 40 m2 and sampled in October. The material, now stored in the West Bohemian Museum in Pilsen, will be described during 2014.

Study of borehole sections and their cores provided (i) stratigraphically precisely located samples of macroflora fromthe Czech part of the Upper Silesian Basin and (ii) samples for palynological maceration. The latter include about 80 samples of coal and clastic rocks systematically taken throughout the complete section of the Lower Suchá Member. They will be processed by Lenka Bojdová within her MSc. thesis.

Members of the team published three papers in international journals with impact factor (Pšenička & Opluštil 2013, Opluštil et al. 2013 and Bek 2013), three talks were published in con-ference abstracts (Šimůnek 2013, Opluštil 2013 and Bek et al. 2013), one poster (Pšenička et al. 2013) and two papers were accepted in 2013, but will be published in 2014 (Libertín et al. 2014 and Bek & Dimitrova 2014).BEK J.

During the last year all samples taken during the preparato-ry phases were evaluated and data started to be prepared for the final publication. Micromorphological samples, especially fromfloor sediments, have been evaluated and partly interpreted ina paper submitted and already accepted in Plos one. The situa-tion of unique finds together with the evaluation of samples ena-bled formation of general methodology that has been verifiedalso at other locations. This is reflected in project dedication insome outputs from other localities. Pedological drills in the sur-roundings of the locality have been made to compare the results with data gained from the research.

No. GP13-19250P: Palaeobiological study of marine fossil fishes from the Oligocene of the Hermanowa locality (Po-land) (T. Přikryl; 2013–2015)

Numerous fish fossil have been found in the Oligocene–Mi-ocene deposits of the Carpathian Basins over the last decades. These findings have been taxonomically studied but especial-ly juvenile and larval specimens gained only a minor atten-tion. The goal of the new project is to fill this gap by study-ing the exceptional fish collection from the Hermanowa local-ity. The stratigraphy of the Hermanowa locality has not been fully solved. According to Kotlarczyk et al. (2006) it belongs to Paleogene Flysch strata that are older than the Menilite Forma-tion. The common occurrence of the genera Hipposyngnathus (Přikryl et al. 2011) and Trachinus in the sediments enables classify the strata into the IPM 2 zone (IPM zones in sense of Kotlarczyk & Jerzmańska 1976 and Kotlarczyk et al. 2006), but the stratigraphic range is probably wider.

During the first year, excavation continued at the localityand a detailed study of previously collected specimens started (+preparation, if necessary). The specimens were taxonomically determined on the basis of literature data, and a comparison of selected material with type specimens (if available) and Recent relatives was carried out. It is possible to say that fishes are repre-sented by Teleostei (e.g., clupeids, various forms of gadiforms and perciforms, syngnathids etc.), with the most common genera “Clu-pea”, Glossanodon and Trachinus. On the other hand, fishes withphotophores (quite common in some layers of Oligocene–Mio-cene deposits of the Carpathian Basins) are completely missing in the assemblage. Elasmobranchii are represented by two types only: rarely found isolated branchiospines of basking shark Cetorhinus sp. and one unidentified imprint of an isolated jaw tooth.

The teleost specimens can be separated to all three develop-mental categories (larvae, juveniles and adults) and thus have

the potential to supply and improve our knowledge on the on-togeny of the respective taxa. With respect to taphonomy, the fish fossils are represented by complete skeletons, slightly disar-ticulated specimens or isolated bones, with no preferred orien-tation or sorting. The locality therefore, at a first sight, stronglyreminds the upper part (D–G) of the Jamna Dolna locality (see Jerzmańska 1968) characteritzed by the dominance of neritic taxa. Complete absence of fish with luminescent organs is alsocharacteristic for the Hermanowa locality.JERZMAŃSKA A. (1968): Ichtyofaune des couches a menilite

No. TA03021289: Measurement of migratory properties of rocks with fracture permeability using fluorescent solu-tions (J. Rohovec, V. Lachman, R. Kovářová, P. Bílý, P. Novák, ISATech, s. r. o., R. Vašíček, Czech Technical University in Prague, V. Frydrych, Z. Patzelt, R. Šigut, L. Vachudová, M. Du-rajová, K. Koděrová, Geomedia, s. r. o.; 2013–2016)

The project is focused on the use of fluorescent propertiesduring tracer tests. Fluorescent tracers do not modify hydro-chemical properties of the environment and are not radioactive. The scope of the research project is to verify that the appropriate fluorescent tracers allow the evalutation of migration parame-tres without being toxic and with no need of special permissions from regulatory authorities.

A positive result is that the fluorescent tracers will enablea more accurate evalutation of absorption properties of the rock environment than chemical tracers in case of leakage of hazardous substances. In the field experiments, hydrological tracer tests arewidely used in hydrogeology. It should be clarified if any substanc-es can fully replace the role of active isotopes, which have a nega-tive effect on the surrounding environment caused by their radio-activity and modify hydrochemical/geochemical properties of geo-logical structures. Fluorescence salts offer the possibility of contin-uous monitoring of fluorescence changes without endangering theenvironment and without negative effects on hydrochemistry.

Solution of the project is planned according to the scheme literature review – laboratory research – field tests – mathemati-cal modelling. In the course of our previous research work, we have obtained design rights concerning the developed facility and technology enabling a continous monitoring and evaluation of fluorescence changes in liquids. Continuous record of changesof the concentration of tracers in groundwater during field meas-urements seems to be essential for project solution.

The investigation of interaction between fluorescent saltsand migratory properties of the rock environment is focused on rocks with fracture permeability. Further selection of fluo-rescence salts accomplishing the objectives of the project was based on a detailed bibliographic study and experimental tests.

Particular fluorescent salts were investigated in laboratory scaleon selected rocks. We have selected most promising fluores-cence tracer solutions for consequent use for migration tests in specified rock environments with fracture permeability.

It was found that sorption properties of Fluorescein in neu-tral or weakly alkaline aqueous media closely approach the ideal non-sorbent behaviour. On the other hand, Rhodamine WT widely recommended for geochemical and hydrological trac-ing experiments is quite acceptable as well, but it has a higher sorption affinity than Fluorescein. The stability of both tracersis satisfactory for long-term experiments in field measurements.Eosin Y and Eosin B, derivatives of Fluorescein, show a higher sorption and a dramatically lower stability in alkaline aqueous media than the mother compound. For this reason, Eosin Y and Eosin B are not feasible tracers for general use in tracing experi-ments. It was also found that the presence of positively charged functional groups in the tracer molecule increases its sorption on granite. The presence of negatively charged functionalities is a pre-requisite for a successful application of the tracer.

Components of granite from Panske Dubenky were sepa-rated and XRD characterised as quartz, muscovite, biotite and plagioclase. Batch-type sorption tests were performed on all of them. The highest sorption potential was found for muscovite, less important sorption was found also for biotite, while quartz and palgioclase are of low sorption affinity.

In the Josef underground research center an experimental polygon equipped with small-diameter boreholes was set up, in-terconnected by fracture network with two networks sections – with and without sorption properties. This polygon will be used for field testing of the behaviour of tracers in fracture network.The results of both laboratory and field tests will be validated bymathematical models.

Verification of the project progress is continuously docu-mented by the results of laboratory tests, filed tests in the re-search polygon and the mathematical model. Imput data for the status of proven technology will be available as a fair-copy ver-sion to date of project completion.

No. IAA300130902: Characteristics of the mantle sourc-es and crystallization history of the subvolcanic alkaline rock series: Geochemical and Sr-Nd isotope signature (an example from the České stredohoří Mts., Ohře/Eger Rift) (R. Skála, J. Ulrych, V. Böhmová, L. Ackerman, J. Filip, Z. Řanda, J. Mizera, J. Kučera, Nuclear Physics Institute, Řež, E. Jelínek & D. Matějka, Faculty of Science, Charles University, Praha; 2009–2013)

Similar to other places in the European Cenozoic Rift Sys-tem (ECRIS; Prodehl et al. 1995) magmatic rocks of the Ohře/Eger Graben (OR) are typically anorogenic silica-undersatu-rated alkaline types (e.g., Ulrych et al. 2011). However, the OR contains, in addition to volcanic rocks, hypabyssal rocks of the high-level intrusions, which are rare in the other parts of the ECRIS. The České středohoří Mts. represents an erosional relict within the OR graben. The largest center of magmatic activity of the České středohoří is the Roztoky Intrusive Complex (RIC). The intrusive magmatic activity of the RIC lasted from ca 33 to 25 Ma (Ulrych et al. 2011). The center is composed of an ellip-tical crater vent (3 km by 1.5 km) filled with trachytic brecciaand a cluster of trachybasaltic to phonolitic shallow intrusions. Hypabyssal intrusions of monzodiorite, essexite, sodalite syen-ite as well as a radial dyke swarm of (semi)lamprophyres and felsic differentiates occur in close proximity to the center (Ul-rych et al. 2006). In contrast to the volcanic rocks, information on the hypabyssal rocks is limited although they can provide constraints on the genesis of the hypabyssal and subvolcanic level of volcanism and refine the ideas on the rift history. Theycan also contribute to a recent debate on whether intraplate magmatic activities in the ECRIS are related to mantle plumes.

The goal of the project was, based on whole-rock major and trace element concentrations, Sr-Nd isotope ratios analyses and mineral chemistry data of on hypabyssal and subvolcanic rocks of the Roztoky Intrusive Complex to constrain the petrogenesis of the igneous complex.

Twenty-four fresh samples were selected for this study. Whole-rock major element concentrations were determined at the Faculty of Science, Charles University in Prague, using wet chemical methods. The trace-element analyses of whole-rock samples were carried out by ICP-MS PQ3 VG Elemental in-stalled at Charles University in Prague. Mineral analyses were carried out on a CAMECA SX 100 electron microprobe at the Institute of Geology, v.v.i., Czech Academy of Sciences, Prague. The Sr-Nd isotope compositions were determined in the isotope laboratory at Universität München.

The rocks studied included essexite (nepheline monzodior-ite), monzodiorite, sodalite (analcime) syenite, sodalite-bearing monzosyenite to syenite, and (semi) lamprophyric dyke rocks (monchiquite, camptonite, gauteite, bostonite). Three distinct pet-rographic types of essexite were recognized: the most common dark fine-grained type which is equigranular with hypidiomor-phic texture. It occurs in the central part of the intrusions. In mar-ginal parts of the bodies, the light fine- to medium-grained type,which is equigranular with prismatic granular texture, is common,

but it also forms lenses in the central part. The least common is the porphyritic type, which is characterized by the presence of 1–2 cm long prismatic clinopyroxene phenocrysts. The monzo-diorite shows distinct compositional and textural variations in-cluding a magmatic rhythmic layering. Equigranular types with hypidiomorphic granitic to prismatic textures are prominent in the intrusions. They are predominantly fine-grained passing intomedium-grained varieties, which contain typical lath-shaped plagioclase. The central part of the Roztoky monzodiorite body (“rongstockite”) shows an unusual magmatic rhythmic layering. The banded rock contains numerous feldspathic medium-grained 2 to 5 mm wide bands, which alternate with prevailing pyrox-ene–biotite melamonzodioritic bands. The porphyritic types with transitions to medium-grained types are characterized by large phenocrysts (up to 10 mm in length) of clinopyroxene and bi-otite enclosed in granular groundmass. The sodalite (analcime) syenitic rocks occur mainly in the outer parts of the RIC, as well as in some isolated intrusions up to 5 to 10 km from the center. They are predominantly fine-grained syenites or high-level intru-sive trachytic rocks. Fine- to medium-grained rocks are usually equigranular, rarely with a hypidiomorphic granular texture. So-dalite is nearly completely replaced by analcime. Sodalite-bear-ing monzodiorite forms one small intrusion at Býčkovice about 15 km from the RIC. The rock is mostly fine-grained, equigran-ular and has mineral characteristics similar to those of sodalite syenite. Camptonite is composed of hornblende and phlogopite phenocrysts set in fine-grained groundmass free of glass. Mon-chiquite is composed of clinopyroxene and hornblende phenoc-rysts in groundmass containing glass and/or analcime. It forms not only independent dykes but also “chilled margins” of camp-tonite dykes. Gauteite forms transitions to camptonites as well as bostonites. Bostonite is composed mainly of alkali feldspar phen-ocrysts in fine-grained groundmass.

Clinopyroxenes of all subvolcanic and dyke rocks of the RIC occur as phenocrysts and/or grains in the matrix and correspond to aluminian ferroan diopside. Many clinopyroxene phenocrysts show concentric oscillation- and/or sector-zoning, in some cases patchy zoning was observed as well. The sector zoning is mainly present in the dyke rocks. Concentric zoning usually displays the pattern with cores enriched in Mg and partly in Si whereas Al, Fe and Ti are depleted; Ca is constant across the entire grains. Amphiboles are abundant in lamprophyres and in sodalite syen-ite where they occur as phenocrysts, grains in matrix and rarely even as xenocrysts. They also occur in minor amounts in essex-ites and monzodiorites. Amphiboles predominantly correspond to potassian kaersutite or ferrokaersutite though a few analyses represent potassian titanian pargasite or ferropargasite. Kaersu-tites in the matrix of monchiquite are typically enriched in TiO2

(up to 7.5 wt. %). Contents of F vary between 0.5 to 2.1 wt. %, Cl contents were not detected in the studied amphiboles. Most micas correspond to biotite. Typical feature of all analyzed mi-cas is elevated content of titanium. The highest titanium content, up to 10.5 wt. % TiO2 (0.6 a.p.f.u. in formulae based on 22 posi-tive charges per formula unit), was found in essexites. In hypa-byssal rocks, plagioclase is the major feldspar only in monzodi-orite and essexite. It is distinctly zoned with An26-66 (in monzodi-

31RESEARCH REPORTS

orite and essexite), and An2-30 (in sodalite syenite). Plagioclases of dyke rocks are compositionally variable with An19-65 in mafic(semi)lamprophyres and An33-44 in bostonite. Alkali feldspar oc-curs in monzodiorite and essexite both as phenocrysts and dis-persed grains in matrix. Phenocrysts in monzodiorite typically range in composition between Or55Ab38 to Or67Ab29, whereas those in essexite are Na-rich (An19–33), in contrast to sanidine-al-bite solid solution (Or83Ab16 to Or52Ab44), which is present in ma-trix. In sodalite syenite, the chemical composition of alkali feld-spar varies between Or1Ab97 and Or56Ab41. In camptonite, almost pure albite has been found. Hornblendite contains both plagi-oclase (An~46) and alkali feldspar (Or50Ab5). Nepheline is a com-mon constituent of essexite and a minor phase in sodalite syenite. In tinguaites, it forms reddish orange phenocrysts and cloudy grains in matrix (with hauyne and sodalite). Sodalite was prob-ably the dominant primary mineral in sodalite syenite but was almost completely replaced by analcime, which in addition also forms euhedral crystals in miarolitic cavities. In essexite, sodal-ite is rare. Two major series of the Fe-Ti oxide minerals were identified in the studied rocks: ilmenite–hematite and magnetite–ulvöspinel. The position of the latter off the ideal line Usp-Mag points out to substantial isomorphic substitutions.

Bulk chemical composition of the samples ranges in SiO2 from 41 to 53 wt. % and plots at high Na2O and K2O in the fieldof alkaline field. Using Mg-values (Mg # [100*(Mg / (Mg +Fetot)]), the sample suite can be subdivided into: (1) hypabyss-al weakly alkaline series (essexite – monzodiorite – sodalite syenite) with Mg # ca 39–56 and hornblendite cumulate (Mg #

~ 59) in sodalite syenite; (2) weakly alkaline dyke series (WAS) (gauteite / camptonite – bostonite) with Mg # ca 42–61; and (3) strongly alkaline dyke series (SAS) (camptonite / monchiquite – tinguaite) with Mg # ca 18–31.

Trace element variations of the hypabyssal intrusive rock series essexite – monzodiorite – sodalite syenite include: (1) progressive enrichment in incompatible elements (e.g., rare earth elements – REE, large ion lithophile elements – LILE) and depletion in compatible elements (e.g., Cr, Co, Ni, Sc), (2) an increase in total concentrations of REE, and (3) a slight increase in light REE (LREE) relative to heavy REE (HREE). Primitive mantle-normalized REE patterns of the hypabyssal rocks show a general enrichment in LREE with the (La/Yb)N ratios vary-ing from ca 25 for monzodiorite to ca 33 for sodalite syenite; hornblendite has the lowest value of ca 10. The REE patterns of lamprophyre dykes are similar to those of the hypabyssal rocks with the (La/Yb)N varying in the range of 18 to 22. Almost all rocks exhibit a small negative Eu anomaly (Eu/Eu* = 0.9–1.0). Primitive mantle-normalized trace element diagrams display a progressive enrichment in incompatible elements in monzo-diorite to sodalite syenite. A slight depletion in P is typical of mafic rocks (essexite, monzodiorite) while a strong negativeanomaly is typical of felsic types (e.g., sodalite syenite). When compared to the patterns of hypabyssal rocks, the hornblendite cumulate has substantially lower contents of LREE and other incompatible elements, while it is enriched in Ti consistent with the accumulation of kaersutite / titanian magnetite. Among the hypabyssal rocks, the hornblendites have the highest K/Rb ratio (ca 635), other rocks display a broad variation between ca 230 and ca 480.

The lamprophyre dykes are more enriched in incompatible elements compared to the hypabyssal rock series. The trace ele-ment patterns show depletions in Cs, Rb, P, Ti and enrichment in Zr and Ba relative to neighbouring elements. Enrichment in incompatible elements and depletion in compatible elements is even more pronounced in felsic rock types. Their patterns also show depletion in P and Ti and enrichment in Nb and Zr.

Most of the hypabyssal rocks and associated dykes are dis-tinctly differentiated as indicated by their low MgO contents and Mg-numbers. However, those with MgO contents over 7 wt.% and/or Mg-numbers higher than 56 show PM-normalized trace element patterns consistent with primitive volcanic rocks of the OR and resemble those of HIMU-OIB with enrichment in high-field-strength elements (HFSE) and frequently with a negativeK anomaly.

Initial 87Sr/86Sr ratios of the ca. 30 Ma old hypabyssal rock series range from 0.70375 (sodalite syenite) to 0.70503 (sodal-ite monzosyenite). The 143Nd/144Nd ratios show a wide variation and initial εNd values ranging from +0.7 to +3.4. Except for the sodalite monzosyenite samples, the samples plot at the lower end of the field for 42–16 Ma syn-rift volcanic rocks of Ulrychet al. (2011) and are in some cases less radiogenic in their Nd isotopic composition (Fig. 12).

The subvolcanic rock suites of the RIC formed by essexite – monzodiorite – sodalite syenite series and weakly and strong-ly alkaline dyke series appear to be closely genetically relat-ed. This is indicated by: (1) radial orientation of a dyke swarm around the core composed of hypabyssal intrusions of monzo-diorite, essexite and partly also sodalite syenite; (2) compara-ble ages of hypabyssal rock series (33–28 Ma) and dyke rocks (30–25 Ma); (3) covariations of major and trace element con-tents of the hypabyssal intrusions and dykes; (4) overlap of the Sr-Nd isotope composition of the hypabyssal rocks and dykes.

The intrusions of RIC are texturally and compositionally het-erogeneous. The significant heterogeneity of individual intrusions

is also demonstrated by alternation of bands of various grain sizes, texture (porphyritic vs. equigranular), contents of mafic miner-als (leucocratic vs. mesocratic) and clinopyroxene / biotite ratio. These variations are probably due to flowage differentiation dur-ing the emplacement of the intrusion at a deeper crustal level.

The variations of major elements, petrographical characteris-tics and mineral chemistry indicate that the RIC suite, including hypabyssal rocks of intrusions and both dyke series, may be de-rived from parent magmas of alkali basalt affinities by fractionalcrystallization. For RIC suite, whole-rock MgO contents posi-tively correlate with TiO2, CaO and FeO contents and negatively correlate with SiO2 and Al2O3 contents. These trends could be ex-plained by the fractionation of clinopyroxene, plagioclase and ol-ivine. The presence of kaersutite+diopside±olivine, fluorapatite,labradorite, titanite cumulates (e.g., our sample S-6) in sodalite syenites and some lamprophyres support this model.

However, fractional crystallization process alone cannot ex-plain all compositional variations within the RIC suite, particular-ly the variations of trace elements and Sr-Nd isotopes. For exam-ple, the high contents of several incompatible trace elements (e.g., LREE, Th, Ba) in the sodalite syenites suggest that it is unlikely these rocks are simply products of continuous fractional crystal-lization of alkaline basaltic magma and suggest assimilation of crustal material. To provide additional constraints on the role of crustal contamination, the importance of fractional crystallization (FC), assimilation-fractional crystallization (AFC) and mixing pro-cesses were examined. For FC process the Rayleigh fractionation model was used (e.g., Allègre et al. 1977), the AFC model was test-ed by a procedure of DePaolo (1981) and for mixing of two com-ponents (parent magma and continental crust) a model of Powell (1984) was used. To test these models, elements with different de-grees of compatibility during magma fractionation were select-ed: compatible Co and incompatible La. Compositionally clos-est to the expected composition of parental magma appears to be the essexite sample S-25, which yielded the highest temperatures and pressures of crystallization among all samples of the stud-ied rock suite. The modal composition and cobalt and lanthanum contents of this sample were chosen to represent the composition of the modeled parent magma. The composition of bulk continen-tal crust was chosen as assimilant. The mass ratio of assimilant/mass fractionated used in our AFC model is 0.7. The modeled FC, AFC and mixing paths constructed using FC-AFC-FCA-Mixing modeler (Ersoy & Helvaci 2010) are shown in Fig. 13. The most of hypabyssal rocks and lamprophyres dykes of RIC suite show well developed fits with the calculated curves. Figure 13 showsthat the compositional variation of RIC suite cannot be explained by simple mixing of two different components (e.g., S-25 and bulk composition crust). On the other hand, FC and/or AFC proc-esses could have played an important role in the evolution of the RIC rocks. The essexite, monzodiorite and most of the lampro-phyre dykes (camptonite, monchiquite, gauteite) can be account-ed for by ca 8–40 % of parent magma crystallization without any contribution of crustal material. In contrast, monzosyenite, leuco-monzodiorite and sodalite syenite (S-23) composition with highly variable Sr and Nd isotopic composition can be explained by AFC process with ca 35–40 % crystallization of parental magma. The composition of most sodalite syenites suggests significant con-tribution of crustal material to their magmas, and therefore, the

importance of AFC process at ca 55–65 % of fractionation of the parent melt. The fractional crystallization and/or assimilation-fractional crystallization was likely accompanied by other proc-esses such as the late-magmatic transfer of volatile-fluids con-taining Zr, U, Th and REE as implied by the occurrence of rare minerals, which concentrate these elements (Zr-minerals) in the RIC. These fluids could be derived from a metasomatized mantlesource such as the subcontinental lithospheric mantle beneath the Bohemian Massif sampled by metasomatized mantle xenoliths.

The Sr-Nd isotopic compositions (Fig. 12) provide further constraints on the evolution of the RIC suite. Except for mon-zosyenites with highly radiogenic 87Sr/86Sr, all rocks share de-pleted mantle compositions and most of them plot in the least depleted portion of a data field for syn-rift Cenozoic volcanicrocks of the Bohemian Massif (Ulrych et al. 2011). However, wide variations in the Sr-Nd isotopic compositions of individ-ual rock types in spite of their similar petrography and whole-rock chemistry suggest variable crustal contributions and/or highly heterogeneous mantle source. The latter is very likely as 87Sr/86Sr ratios of 0.70314 to 0.70399 in mantle xenoliths from Cenozoic volcanic rocks (Blusztajn & Shimizu 1994, Ackerman et al. 2007, Ackerman unpubl. data) indicate large isotopic het-erogeneities in the subcontinental mantle. However, chemically evolved rocks with high 87Sr/86Sr, Rb/Sr ratios and low εNd val-ues may have been also modified by the assimilation of crus-tal material during magma ascent. The crustal contamination in a high-level magma chamber is supported by the presence of crustal xenoliths (e.g., Carboniferous and Upper Cretaceous sediments, Saxothuringian gneisses and altered granites; Ulrych et al. 2000) in the RIC hypabyssal rocks and dykes.ACKERMAN L., MAHLEN N., JELINEK E., MEDARIS L.G.,

State Office for the Nuclear Safety, No. 7403: Evaluation of geological, geotechnical, hydrological and meteorological safety report for site installations of new nuclear facilities at Temelín (Coordinator: V. Cílek; D. Drábová, J. Štuller, SÚJB, The State Institute of Nuclear Safety, V. Cílek, J. Adamovič, K. Breiter & R. Mikuláš; 2013)

Team of ČEZ experts completed a 1000 page study of the safety factors concerning the newly planned nuclear facility of the existingTemelín nucler power plant for Blocks 3 and 4. Geo-logical and other Earth science security risks such as neotecton-ics, seismicity, hydrological modelling etc. (some 200 pages of the report and about 10 thousand pages of ca 300 supplementa-ry studies) were subject to a wide assessment of the geological safety of the site especially in the field of possible neotectonicmovements and seismicity. The mutual meetings with ČEZ ex-perts and proposed field work improved the original data. Thewhole safety study was returned by SÚJB to ČEZ for rewriting. A new field study of tectonic hazards including morphological(LIDAR) analysis, geophysical methods and geological analy-ses within a 25km circle around the existing nuclear power plant was proposed and partly realised. The project is postponed due to new restrictions after the Fukushima disaster and internation-al methodology of IAEA in Vienna and it will continue on the

basis of a new agreement between SÚJB and Institute of Geo-logy CAS, v. v. i. in 2014.

Ministry of Education, Youth and Sports of the Czech Repub-lic, “KONTAKT II”, Project No. LH12079: Laboratory simu-lations of space weathering – the role of iron nanoparticles in the reflectance spectra of asteroids (T. Kohout, G Kletet-schka, R. Skála, J. Čuda, J. Filip, R. Zbořil & J. Tuček, Palacký University Olomouc, Czech Republic; 2012–2015)

The project focuses on the optical effects of asteroid sur-face space weathering associated with micrometeorite bombard-ment and related occurrence of nanosized metallic iron. New methodology of quantitatively controlled artificial production ofnanosized metallic iron particles in size range of ca 1 nm to ca 100 nm and their deposition in surface layers of silicate minerals (olivine and pyroxene) and meteorites is being developed. Sub-sequently, the changes in reflectance spectra of such modifiedminerals and meteorites are measured and correlated to nano-sized metallic iron concentration and grain size. These spectral trends related to artificially produced nanosized metallic iron aresubsequently compared to the observed space weathering trends observed in reflectance spectra of silicate-rich asteroids.

Severočeské doly, a. s., Project No. 7006: Magnetostratigra-phy of the Libkovice Lake (Most Basin) (P. Schnabl)

Samples from core HK591 were measured using a 3-axis 2-G liquid-helium free superconducting rock magnetometer (type 755 4K SRM). Magnetic susceptibility (k) of specimens was determined using a KLY-4 Kappabridge. Specimens were

subjected to detailed AF demagnetization in 10–12 steps up to the field of 60 (100) mT. Results of measurements were ana-lyzed using the Remasof software package.

The sediments are characterized by a large scatter of the NRM intensities (0.1–303 mA.m-1). Samples are characterized by low to high magnetic values. According to the values, the profile

from core HK591 can be divided into five parts with differentmean values of NRM, from 1.2 mA.m-1 (interval 147–243 m) to 138.8 mA.m-1 (interval 34–46 m).

Magnetic polarity obtained from the drill-cored sediments (HK591) produced unequivocal results mainly in its upper part, while in the lower part, retrieved inclinations were scattered. The lower part of the sediment fill was also sampled in outcrops in theBílina and Tušimice mines. Five magnetozones (three normal and two reverse) were identified in the clastics overlying the coal seam.

The time span of the studied section was interpreted to be much shorter than was assumed. The age was interpeted as Bur-digalian.

Charles University, Praha, Project No. 7012: Zonality of REE concentrations in garnets from the Dunkelsteiner Wald granulite massif (M. Svojtka)

The studied garnet clinopyroxenite/eclogite garnets, sam-pled in the Dunkelsteiner Wald granulite massif were analyzed for REE concentrations using laser ablation ICP-MS technique. The results show that significant interaction including metaso-matic processes took part between felsic granulite and mantle rocks during their common metamorphic history.

Czech Geological Survey, Praha, Project No. 7014: Time-tem-perature contrast in Createcous sediments from the James Ross Island (Antarctic Peninsula) (M. Svojtka)

We used apatite fission-track analysis for samples from theJames Ross Island, Antarctic Peninsula. The samples were col-

lected with respect to the temperature profile: thermally affectedsandstones (by intrusion of doleritic basalt) were sampled first,and sampling proceeded to thermally unaffected Cretaceous sandstones. We detected time-temperatute dependence from thermally affected sediments closest to the intrusion (dated about 15 Ma) to the samples away from intrusion (up to ca. 2 m) with ages of 64 Ma, 69 Ma and 89 Ma, respectively. Finally, we confirmed the Lower Cretaceous – Albian age (ca. 113 Ma) forsandstones farther away from the intrusion contact.

quarry also in 2013. The continuation of calcite veins and cavi-ties of the thermomineral paleokarst (sometimes also with cal-cite crystals) discovered in 2009 and 2010 was documented. It seems that thick calcite veins split to thinner branches and pinch out towards the SSW at a distabce of several tens to hundreds of meters. Several isolated small thermomineral cavities with speleogens typical for ascending warm fluids developed alongsome calcite veins. Some of the cavities were covered with quite large calcite crystals (Fig. 14).

University College London, Department of Anthropology, Lon-don, UK, Project No. 7393: Report on micromorphological analysis from Twin Barrow A from Pebblebeds Research of Prof. Tilley (UK) (L. Lisá)

Micromorphological analysis from Twin Barrow A from Pebblebeds Research of Prof. Tilley is the subject of this report. During the excavations of the barrow, a lithological descrip-tion was provided by K. Pauknerova from UCL, Prague and one sample 4.5 × 7 cm in size, covering macroscopically divided layers 4 and 5, was sampled for the purpose of microstratigraph-ical evaluation. Layer 5 corresponds to the anthropogenically influenced type of luvisol. The O horizon is partly missing buta thin layer of charcoal and microcharcoal mixed with mineral components appears. The uppermost part of the charcoal layer is illuviated which suggests that the site was left uncovered for a while at the time of charcoal deposition. Anthropogenically divided layer 4 situated above is composed of non-burned turf deposited upside down, so the soil layer corresponding to bio-turbated Olfh horizon followed by Ahe horizon composes the fi-nal episode of sedimentation observed in studied thin section.

Administration of the Bohemian Switzerland National Park, Krásná Lípa, Project No. 7407: Monitoring of Atmospheric Precipitation in the Bohemian Switzerland National Park (T. Navrátil, I. Dobešová, J. Rohovec & S. Hubičková)

Monitoring of chemical composition of bulk precipita-tion proceeded in 2013 at the Kuní vrch locality in the territory of the Bohemian Switzerland National Park and followed the

monitoring of 2008 to 2012. The monthly bulk precipitations significantly differ according to the climatic conditions. Accord-ing to the bulk precipitation, the hydrological year 2013 can be assessed as above-average, the bulk precipitation at the Kuní vrch locality reached 989 mm. The value of pH is the important measured parameter of the atmospheric deposition. The low val-ues of pH are caused predominantly by anthropogenic factors. The pH of the precipitation on an open place at KV-dkx is be-tween 4.32 and 6.52, which is comparable with the values of pH in hydrological year 2012. The values of pH of throughfall at KV-thsf locality range from 4.20 to 5.68. The terrigenous dust contains soil and rock particles and influences the depositionfluxes of Al, Ca, K, Mn, Sr, Mg, and Fe elements. The values ofdeposition fluxes of most of these elements in hydrological year2013 are comparable with those in the past years.

The acidification of environment represents a significantproblem influenced primarily by atmospheric deposition of sul-phur dioxide and oxides of nitrogen. The decrease of annual deposition flux of SO4

2- at the KV-dkx locality in hydrological year 2013 was measured and could correspond to the values of hydrological year 2011. The annual deposition flux of SO4

2- on the open place reached 12.5 kg.ha-1.year-1, at the KV-thsf lo-cality – throughfall –25.5 kg.ha-1.year-1. The deposition fluxesof SO4

2- mostly come from the remote emission sources. The monthly deposition fluxes can correspond to the seasonal char-acter of some emission sources.

The deposition fluxes of NO3- on the open place in hydrolog-ical year 2013 are comparable with those of hydrological year 2012, the annual deposition flux reached 23.3 kg.ha-1.year-1. The monitored deposition fluxes of throughfall at the KV-thsf local-ity reached 37.8 kg.ha-1.year-1. This represents 72 % of the depo-sition in the preceding hydrological year. The NOx emissions are generated mostly from anthropogenic burning processes, pre-dominantly from traffic.

The higher values of deposition fluxes of throughfall con-firm the washing effect of the forest trees and the leaching ofmetabolites. In particular, K, Mg, Mn, and Rb are the elements metabolized by the forest vegetation.

Jihočeský kraj, Project No. 7427: Paleomagnetic dating of sediments in the PP Skalka Quarry at Sepekov (J. Kadlec & K. Čížková)

Project No. 9330: Chemical and biochemical factors of the origin of weathering pits (J. Adamovič)

Weathering pits (also solution basins, gnammas, tinajitas) are round depressions on top surfaces of sandstone outcrops. They are rounded or elliptical, tens of centimetres to metres across, sharply bounded, with occasional drainage runnels, filled withwater or loose sand. Coalesced weathering pits are irregular, lo-bate in plan view. Populations of weathering pits were studied at many sites across the temperate zone of Europe within the fin-ished grant project on sandstone microrelief from the Grant Agen-cy of the Czech Academy of Sciences. Within the current project, these sites were revisited and extensively sampled for sandstone lithology and chemistry of the entrapped water. Mercury po-rosimetry was used to determine the pore-size distribution in the sandstone and SEM was applied to study quartz grain surfaces.

The values of total effective porosity of 10–15 % were found optimum for the weathering pits formation (but definite-

ly less than 17 %), with the macropores/micropores ratio con-siderably lower compared to uncemented sandstone. Based on morphometry data, two stages of the “growth” of weathering pits can be distinguished in most areas (Fig. 15): 1) enlargement

to the depth marked by a progressive decrease in the diameter/depth ratio in smaller pits, 2) side enlargement with a progres-sive increase in the diameter/depth ratio in larger pits and for-mation of overhanging walls. The first stage is explained asdissolution-dominated while the second stage can be viewed as controlled by frost weathering. The pH values of water trapped in the weathering pits range between 5.5 and 7, with somewhat higher values measured in the autumn than in the spring. The concentrations of dissolved Si are considerably higher in the spring when Si in solution and in clay-sized fraction are accu-mulated after winter. Quartz grain corrosion was found to be of two essential types, mostly comprising sub-μm etching traces: sheet-like corrosion and cavity- and canal-shaped corrosion. The latter is clearly associated with the activity of fungi and li-chens, which were identified under SEM. Samples of lichens,green algae and diatoms were acquired in the field where bio-genic films show a zoned distribution on the walls of the weath-ering pits. The research clearly shows a combination of litho-logical, climatic and biogenic factors in the origin of weathering pits on sandstones in the humid temperate zone of Europe.

Project No. 9331: Trace elements in quartz from pegma-tites – possibilities for genetic interpretation (K. Breiter & M. Novák, Masaryk University Brno)

Evolution of the trace element patterns in quartz during crys-tallization of pegmatite melt was investigated using laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (Fig. 16). Con-tents of Al, B, Ba, Be, Cr, Fe, Ge, Li, Mn, P, Rb, Sn, Sr and Ti were analyzed in quartz from the border, intermediate and core zones of four granitic pegmatites differing in the degree of frac-tionation and origin. They belong to the pegmatite district of the Strážek Unit, Moldanubian Zone, Bohemian Massif, Czech Re-public and include lepidolite LCT (Li-Cs-Ta) pegmatite of Rožná, beryl-columbite LCT pegmatite of Věžná, anatectic pegmatite of Znětínek, and intragranitic NYF (Nb-Y-F) pegmatite of Vladis-lav from the Třebíč Pluton. Contents of the analyzed elements varied in wide intervals: <1 to 32 ppm Li, 0.5 to 6 ppm B, <1 to 10 ppm Ge, 1 to 10 ppm P, 10–450 ppm Al, 1 to 45 ppm Ti, and <1 to 40 ppm Fe (average sample contents). Concentrations of Be, Rb, Sr, Sn, Ba, Cr, and Mn are usually <1 ppm. Quartz from LCT pegmatites exhibits a distinct evolutionary trend: a decrease in Ti and an increase in Al, Li, and Ge from the pegmatite border to the core. In comparison with the most fractionated rare-metal granites, pegmatitic quartz is relatively depleted in Al and Li, but strongly enriched in Ge. Quartz from simple anatectic and NYF pegmatite is poor in all trace elements with the evolution marked by a decrease in Ti contents and a small increase in Ge contents. The contents of Al and Li remain low without systematic behav-iour. Using the Ti-in-quartz thermobarometer, outer zones of the Znětínek and Vladislav pegmatites crystallized approximately at 670 °C, while the border zone in Rožná yields the temperature near 610 °C (Breiter et al. 2014).BREITER K., ACKERMAN L., ĎURIŠOVÁ J., SVOJTKA M.

uplift of the Lusatian Block in the Alpine tectonic history of the Bohemian Massif. An analysis of fault-slip data and other meth-ods of paleostress analysis yielded parameters of eight successive paleostress patterns Late Cretaceous to Plio-Pleistocene in age. The oldest member of the succession is paleostress pattern group α of latest Cretaceous to Eocene age composed of three individu-al NE- to NNW-directed compressions, referred to as α1–α3. Pe-riods of relaxation were dominated by WNW-directed extensions associated with the emplacement of polzenite-group volcan-ics (peak at ca 68–59 Ma), referred to as αβ1–2. The last of the α-group compressions caused lateral extension – αβ3 phase is of Early Oligocene age, as evidenced by faulting of dated phonolite volcanics. Paleostress pattern β, N- to NE-directed extension in normal fault regime, is responsible for downfaulting of the hang-ingwall block of the Lusatian Fault and also for Late Oligocene–Early Miocene Eger Graben formation. The latest identified pale-ostress patterns are Mid Miocene NE-directed compression γ and Pliocene (to Pleistocene?) NW- to NNW-directed compression δ. The identified paleostress patterns can be well correlated with theindividual phases of paleostress history of the Alpine foreland.

Project No. 9333: The Late Miocene lagomorphs of Central and Eastern Europe: taxonomic and paleobiogeographic analysis of the genera Prolagus (Prolagidae) and Alilepus (Leporidae) (S. Čermák)

The project was focused on the revision of poorly known lagomorphs of Central and Eastern Europe: (1) Prolagus from the Late Miocene Hungarian localities of Sümeg (MN10/11) and Polgárdi (MN13); and (2) Alilepus from 8 Late Miocene (MN10–13) localities of Ukraine and Moldova.

A taxonomic revision of abundant material of Prolagus from Sümeg and Pogárdi, based on morpho-dimensional observations and comparisons, and supported by a cladistic analysis, evi-denced a presence of two new species. Such species are closely related, probably by a direct ancestor-descendant relationship. Although they share characters common to other eastern Euro-pean species, testifying the existence of an eastern lineage sepa-rate from western European one(s) (already since MN10/11), their peculiar morpho-dimensional characters distinguish them from other known forms of Europe. They also follow particular evolutionary trends, especially in their p3 (enlargement of the crochet and not evident size increase after MN12) that distin-guish them from the studied Late Miocene continental European lineages. These facts evidence that they are continental isolated species, a conclusion confirmed by palaeogeographical data.

Based on the new Alilepus material from the Late Mio-cene of Ukraine, a detailed morphometric re-description and emended diagnosis of A. laskarewi were provided. The taxo-nomic consideration of new material was supported by a direct analysis and revision of yet very poorly known type materi-als of A. laskarewi, A. hungaricus and A. ucrainicus. The spe-cies A. laskarewi was compared with all species referred from Europe and Asia. In the light of the present taxonomic state of the art, also with the aid of newly discovered material showing some very particular morphological features in p3, a possible evolution and dispersal scenarios of the earliest Leporinae in the Holoarctic context were hypothesized.

Project No. 9334: Lithogeochemistry and Sr-Nd isotopic composition of psammo-pelitic metasediments of the Teplá Crystalline Complex: geotectonic and lithostratigraphic in-terpretation (J. Fiala)

A profile through clastic metasediments from the TepláCrystalline Complex (West Bohemia) was analysed for major and trace elements, REE and Sr and Nd isotopes. The metamor-phic grade of these rocks, of presumed Neoproterozoic protolit age, increases from SE to NW from very low-grade to amphi-bolite facies. The rock geochemistries indicate that the sedimen-tary protoliths for the whole sequence consisted of immature (pelitic) greywackes of the continental island arc geotectonic settings. No significant changes in composition from lowest tohighest grade or across strike of isograds are observed. Varia-tions due to sedimentary fractionation within a single locality exceed the variation among samples of different metamorphic grade or of different geographic position. The prevailing REE spectra with distinct negative Eu anomalies show a close simi-larity with those of continental island arcs modern turbidites. Several samples without any Eu anomaly resemble the REE pat-terns of less differentiated island arc andesites. LREE leaching under oxidizing conditions is suggested by several REE pat-terns with positive Ce anomalies. The Sm-Nd model ages TDM of samples with Ce anomalies are higher (TDM 1.8–2.0 Ga) than those of all other samples (TDM 1.1–1.5 Ga). Sri for all samples is fairly constant and compatible with an assumed dominance of detritus which is isotopically not very evolved. An alternative idea of an accretionary wedge provenance of the Teplá-Barran-dian unit (meta-)sediments can be also accepted from the view-point of their geochemical characteristics.

Project No. 9335: Devonian lower-eukaryotic microprob-lematics – a Phanerozoic perspective (J. Hladil)

The project was focused on a selection of problematic marine microfossils which have mostly been referred to para-thuramminid foraminifers, algae incertae sedis and “calcispheres”. It relates to a number of taxa formally defined elsewhere acrossbacteria, protists, animal and plant kingdoms, and represent a call for an essential reassessment of understanding what these organ-isms actually were. With participation of an international team of experts, it was gradually revealed that these fossils can most like-ly be classified as belonging to various life stages of large-sizedamoeboid protists with complex life cycles. In addition, the evi-dence for stratigraphic ranges of these organisms was extended from the Devonian to almost the entire Paleozoic, then Mesozoic and even Cenozoic. The new, still partly hypothetical group of these protists was introduced under a working name of a “thau-matoporella group”, according to one type of the common, me-dium-sized remnants. This type possesses thin, homogeneous to perforate, dark coloured, and early diagenetically formed micritic

“walls”. Very common, and in some cases and environments even prevailing, are numerous small “cysts” of Bisphaera type. How-ever, two papers published during this one-year project (Schlag-intweit et al. 2013a, 2013b) represent only the first steps on thelong way towards a full understanding of the palaeobiology of these organisms, including a not-negligible potential to explain

Different drying procedures (freeze-drying, air-drying and 105 °C oven-drying) of soil samples were investigated to evalu-ate the influence of drying on mercury concentration analyzedin soils. Freeze-drying represented the smallest Hg loss from contaminated soils, while air-drying of soils caused Hg loss from the samples.

Project No. 9337: Reconstruction of Cenozoic lacustrine, fluvial and eolian processes using mineral magnetic andmineralogical method (J. Kadlec, K. Čížková, P. Schnabl & S. Šlechta)

Supplementary mineral magnetic and microprobe anlalyses helped in final interpretation of the origin of sediment sequenc-es controlled by paleoenvironmental changes. In the case of the Lower Morava Basin we have reconstructed the Late Pleis-tocene lacustrine, fluvial and eolian history of the area influ-enced by climate changes. The Miocene Cypris Fm. deposited in the Sokolov Basin reveal changes in magnetic assemblage and magnetic fabric in response to lake level oscillations.

Project No. 9338: Reconstruction of post-Variscan time–temperature evolution of sedimentary basins and their source areas along Lusatian Fault (Bohemian Massif) using Apatite Fission-Track Analysis (D. Kořínková)

The aims of this project are to 1) reconstruct the time-(low)temperature evolution of basinal sediments and source ar-eas (i.e. uplifted blocks along the Lusatian Fault from NW and NE Bohemia, Saxony and Silesia) related to tectonic-erosion activity at the Lusatian Fault Zone and 2) bring new data about the tectonic subsidence/uplift (cooling rate) in the studied ar-eas using Apatite Fission-Track Analysis. A total of 31 samples were collected: from the crystalline blocks north of the LF and the sedimentary basin fill (Turonian quartzose sandstones) southof the Lusatian Fault across western and central Sudetes. They were dated and their T–t evolution was modeled. Samples from the Krkonoše-Jizera Region provided AFT-ages in the range of 154±11 Ma to 87±6 Ma, samples from the Lusatian Plutonic Complex yielded AFT ages of 100±10 Ma to 72±4 Ma. Grani-toid samples from the Elbe Zone from Saxony provided these values: one sample from Dresden 228±17 Ma, sample from

around the Meissen 145±15 Ma and sample from the Elbe Can-yon 159±14 Ma. Although the last two samples come from the subsided block south of the Lusatian Fault, their post-Creta-ceous development is close to that of the crystalline blocks to the north of the fault, and not to the adjacent sandstones. The stud-ied sandstones yielded AFT ages of 177±12 Ma, 177±17 Ma and 225±17 Ma.

Project No. 9339: The use of ICP-MS for U-series dating of cave carbonates (Š. Matoušková, J. Rohovec & H. Hercman, Institute of Geological Sciences, Polish Academy of Sciences, Warsaw)

The U-series dating method is frequently used to determine the age of cave carbonates. This method is based on the radioac-tive disequilibrium of some members of decay series. It is real-ized by the measurement of activity ratios of different uranium and thorium isotopes using alpha spectrometry. There are some disadvantages of the alpha spectrometry (high sample weight, overlap of emitted energy of key isotopes, time question, trou-bles with the detection of low concentration samples). The TIMS is also used, but this method is arduous, the preparation of samples is very difficult and time-consuming and the meas-urement is quite expensive. These are reasons why we decided to find a new possibility of the measurement of activity ratios –the Sector Field Mass Spectrometer with Inductive Coupled Plasma, Element II Thermo Scientific.

During the optimization of the methodics some experimen-tal decomposition of cave carbonates was realized, and concen-trations of uranium and thorium in natural samples were veri-fied and compared to certified values. The concentration of 230Th is very low and the separation on columns is needed. A method on ICP-MS was optimized for the measurement of uranium and thorium isotopes on artificial (prepared from standards) sam-ples. The lowest measurable concentration of uranium and tho-rium in samples was found. The next step will be the verifying of this method on natural samples prepared specifically for theICP-MS. A really big issue is the sample preparation using col-umn separation – this step is performed in the cooperative insti-tution in Warsaw, Poland (H. Hercman).

After the development of the methodics is finished, its im-plementation at our Institute will be beneficial for many of itsscientific departments.

Project No. 9340: Ichnofabric of the Cambrian in the Železné hory Mts. area (R. Mikuláš)

Ichnofossils attributable to the ichnogenus Zoophycos isp. found at the Palác Hill of the Železné hory Mountains (eastern Bo-hemia) were re-studied. The finds come from shales belonging tothe Middle Cambrian, and are interpreted as lobate and helical. As such, they represent the oldest recorded occurrence of helical Zoo-phycos. Such complex Zoophycos has so far been recorded from the Ordovician onwards, becoming frequent in the Mesozoic.

Project No. 9341: Euro-American genus Eopelobates, and re-definition of the family Pelobatidae (Amphibia, Anura)

40RESEARCH REPORTS

2013

(Z. Roček, J.D. Gardner, Royal Tyrrell Museum of Palaeontol-ogy, Alberta, Canada & B.-A. S. Bhullar, Harvard University, USA)

The extinct Eopelobates (Eocene of western North America; Eocene–Pliocene of Europe) and Pelobates (Oligocene – Recent of Europe; Recent of northern Africa and the Middle East) are superficially toad-like anurans that are united within the familyPelobatidae mainly on the basis of a unique, tripartite fronto-parietal complex. Both genera have a relatively good fossil record consisting of isolated bones, skeletons, and develop-mental series of tadpoles through adults, all of which are potentially informative for tracing the evolutionary history of the family. Eopelobates is of interest for several reasons. Of the two pelobatid genera, Eopelobates appears earlier in the fossil record (early Eocene vs late Oligocene) and is more primitive in lacking many of the features associated with fossoriality in extant Pelobates. The taxonomic composition of Eopelobates has been contentious and at least one putative new species has yet long been recognized, but never described. Here we provide updated taxonomic accounts for Pelobatoidea, Pelobatidae, Pelobates, and Eopelobates and document development within a series of tadpoles and juveniles of E. bayeri from Bechlejovice (late Oligocene in age), Czech Republic. We also provide updated accounts for the five previously namedand currently accepted species of Eopelobates. For the European congeners, E. anthracinus (late Oligocene) and E. bayeri (early Oligocene to mid Miocene) can confidently beregarded as separate species; although the distinction between E. hinschei and E. wagneri (both early Eocene) is less certain, we provisionally maintain those as separate species. Micro CT scans for the holotype skeleton of E. grandis (late Eocene, USA) help to resolve some problematic features, most notably showing that cranial sculpture is of the pit-and-ridge style that is typical for Eopelobates. A sixth congener is named and described based on two skeletons from the middle Eocene portion of the Green River Formation, in Wyoming, USA. We caution that reports of Eopelobates-like anurans from the pre-Eocene of western North America and the early Eocene of India are founded on isolated bones that cannot be assigned with confidence to that genus. The presence of Eopelobates in both North America and Europe may be explained by dispersal via the high latitude land bridge that connected those two continents during the late Paleocene through Eocene. The pelobatid fossil record is informative for documenting the nature and timing of changes in cranial features (e.g., ornament patterns, shape of nasals, pattern of frontoparietal-squamosal contact) from the inferred primitive condition seen in most Eopelobates to the more derived condition seen in extant Pelobates, but it is less informative for tracing the evolution of fossoriality, which is the key attribute of extant Pelobates.

Project No. 9342: Magnetostratigraphy and magnetominer-alogy of Jurassic/Cretaceous boundary interval on the sites Le Chouet, St Bernad Spring a Barlya (P. Schnabl, P. Pruner, K. Čížková, J. Petráček, S. Šlechta)

The study refers on the Le Chouet section, its lithologies, facies, magnetic properties and fossil record (ammonites, cal-

careous nannofossils, calpionellids and calcareous dinoflagel-lates). Data obtained have been applied to give a precise bios-tratigraphy for this carbonate sequence as well as a paleoenvi-ronmental reconstruction. Its relationship to magnetostratig-raphy, based on a modern study of a French site, is important. Investigation of the micro- and macrofossils shows that the site comprises a sedimentary sequence in the Microcanthum to Jacobi ammonite Zones, and the Chitinoidella, Crassicollaria and Calpionella Zones. Several calpionellid and nannofossil bioevents have been recorded on the basis of the distribution of stratigraphically important planktonic organisms. The site al-lows us to calibrate the levels of various biomarkers and bio-zonal boundaries, and correlate them with magnetozones M20n, M19r and M19n (Wimbledon et al. 2013).

Hundreds of samples were drilled in the Barlya (Bulgraria) and Carcabuey (Spain) sections during the field campaigns. Re-connaissance of several Bulgarian (Ruzhintsi, Bielogradcik, Ko-panice), Czech (Kurovice) sites was performed. The preliminary result was presented during the 10th Berriasian working group meeting in Warsaw, Poland.WIMBLEDON W. A. P., REHÁKOVÁ D., PSZCZÓŁKOW-

Project No. 9343: Faunistic assemblages, coprolitic deposits, palynospectra and development of sedimentary environ-ment in Lower Turonian (nearshore facies) (M. Svobodová, R. Vodrážka, J. Žítt)

Upper Cenomanian–Lower Turonian sedimentary succes-sion was studied at new temporary exposures (road bypass, 2009) near Kolín. Abundant macrofauna (mainly sponges and bivalves) and palynomorphs provided palaeoecological data. Non-calcareous dinoflagellate cysts prevail in all studied sam-ples. Depositional environment reflects shallow-marine condi-tions which are documented by the dominance of peridinioid cyst of Palaeohystrichophora infusorioides. Rare presence of the Normapolles pollen confirms the Lower Turonian age (Com-plexiopollis vulgaris, Atlantopollis microverrucosus). Finds of sandy limestones overlain by highly glauconitic sandstones (Upper Cenomanian, section 2) and sandy facies rich in phos-phatic clasts (Lower Turonian, section 1) illustrate the rocky coast and nearshore environments.

Project No. 9344: Conditions of origin of melilitic mineral associations in Cenozoic volcanic rocks of the Bohemian Massif (Co-ordinator: J. Ulrych; contributions: J. Adamovič, L. Ackerman, E. Hegner, Department of Geowissenschaften, Universität München & K. Balogh, Institute of Nuclear Re-search, Hungarian Academy of Sciences, Debrecen)

Principal conclusions of our study of mineral associations on the melilitic and melilite-bearing volcanic rocks of northern Bohemia can be summarized as follows:

41RESEARCH REPORTS

2013

Dykes of the Late Cretaceous to Early Tertiary (79.5±3.5 to 60.7±2.4 Ma) melilitic rock series of the Osečná Complex and the Devil’s Walls dyke swarm, including ultramafic lampro-phyres – polzenites – of Scheumann (1913) occur dispersed in the entire Upper Ploučnice River basin in northern Bohemia.

Polzenites and associated melilitic rocks are character-ized by the mineral association of olivine+melilite±nepheline, haüyne, monticellite, phlogopite, carbonates, perovskite, spinels and apatite (cf. Ulrych & Štěpánková-Svobodová 2014). New data on their mineral and chemical compositions from original Scheumann’s localities (the Vesec, Modlibohov, Luhov types) argue (Ulrych & Krmíček 2013) against the abolition of the group of ultramafic lamprophyres and the terms “polzenite” and

“alnöite” by the Le Maitre (2002) classification.Marginal facies and numerous flat apophyses of the lopolith-

like body known as the Osečná Complex show an olivine micro-melilitolite composition (lamprophyric facies). The porphyritic texture, chemical composition and the presence of characteris-tic minerals such as monticellite and phlogopite point to their affinity with ultramafic lamprophyres – polzenites of the Vesectype. Melilite-bearing olivine nephelinites to olivine melilitites (olivine+clinopyroxene+nepheline+melilite±haüyne and spinels with apatite) form a swarm of subparallel dykes known as the Devil’s Walls.

The Scheumann’s non-melilite dyke rock “wesselite”, spa-tially associated with polzenites and often erroneously attribut-ed to the polzenite group, is an alkaline lamprophyre of monchi-quite to camptonite composition (kaersutite+phlogopite+diopside+olivine phenocrysts in groundmass containing clinopyroxene, phlogopite, haüyne, analcime, titanian magnetite, apatite±glass/plagioclase). First K–Ar data show Oligocene ages (30.9±1.2 to 27.8±1.1 Ma) and an affinity to the common tephrite–basaniterock series. The results were published in Ulrych et al. (2014).

Principal conclusions of the study of mineral associations on the melilitic and non-melilitic volcanic rocks with the car-bonatite affinity of the Bohemian Massif can be summarized asfollows:

Melilitic alkaline rock suite of the Osečná Complex and mildly alkaline rock suite of the Roztoky Intrusive Complex, both with carbonatite affinity, were studied to determine thesource of magma for alkaline volcanism in the Cenozoic Central European Volcanic Province. No significant correlation in prima-ry chemical composition exists between element contents in the extremely SiO2-undersaturated melilitic rock suite of the Osečná Complex. All geochemical variations can be explained by meta-somatic overprinting. The rocks represent a product of primitive mantle-derived magma. Enrichment in incompatible elements, high Zr/Hf, Ce/Pb ratios, relative depletion in HREE and nega-tive K and Rb anomalies in the PM-normalized multielement variation diagrams point to a metasomatized mantle source with amphibole and/or phlogopite and garnet in the residuum.

The rocks of the essexite – monzodiorite – sodalite syenite series and associated differentiated dykes of the Roztoky In-trusive Complex are characterized by mean SiO2 contents, are depleted in compatible elements, and their magma represents an evolved melt. Negative correlations between SiO2 and MgO, TiO2, P2O5 and CaO, and positive correlations between SiO2 and K2O, Na2O and Al2O3 point to fractional crystallization of oli-

vine, clinopyroxene, Fe-Ti oxides and apatite. The rocks geo-chemically correspond to the trachybasaltic lavas of the České středohoří Mts., and the same magma source can be presumed, i.e. mantle-related magma that was affected by some crustal as-similation.

Based on the presence of negative K and Rb anomalies in the PM-normalized multielement variation diagram in the Low-er Paleozoic magmatic rocks of the Bohemian Massif we sug-gest that metasomatism of mantle lithosphere started already in the Early Cambrian. HIMU-OIB like Sr and Nd isotopic com-position of the rocks of the Osečná Complex and variations in chemical composition of the volcanic rocks of the Central Euro-pean Volcanic Province can be explained by continuous melt-ing and subsequent metasomatism of mantle lithosphere. Geo-chemical similarities of ultramafic rocks from different worldmagmatic complexes show that subcontinental metasomatized mantle lithosphere is probably more homogeneous than some-times presumed.Le MAITRE R.W.

Project No. 9345: Research of selected units of ichthyoliths from the Líně Formation (Stephanian C) in the Central and Western Bohemian Basins (J. Zajíc)

Remains of euselachian (hybodontid) sharks were docu-mented and described not only from the Central and Western Bohemian Basins but also from the Krkonoše Piedmont Basin. Two taxa (Sphenacanthus carbonarius and Lissodus lacustris) could be described on specific level. Other remains were deter-mined as Euselachii indet. The distribution of euselachiid sharks in the Variscan fold belt was refined by the present study.

Project No. 9346: The soils on volcanic rocks in central and northern Bohemia (Co-ordinator: A. Žigová, contribution: M. Šťastný)

The character of the parent material is a base line that must be known for the evaluation of individual stages of pedogenesis. This study is focused on the analysis of the development of soil cover on volcanic rocks in the protected landscape areas.

Representative soil sequences were excavated down to the parent material. The soil profile in the České středohoří Mts.Protected Landscape Area was sampled at the altitude of 675 m. Parent material is basalt. Soil sequence in the Křivoklátsko Pro-tected Landscape Area is located at the altitude of 510 m. Parent material is andesite. Soil profile in the Bohemian Karst Protect-ed Landscape Area is located at the altitude of 418 m. Parent material is dolerite. Volcanic rocks were characterized on the basis of thin section petrography. Soil profiles were evaluatedon the basis of morphological analysis, particle size distribution, pH values, cation exchange capacity, base saturation, soil organ-ic matter parameters and mineral composition of clay fraction.

Morphological analysis and diagnostic criteria allowed clas-sifying all soils as Haplic Cambisols although they show some differences in the intensity of soil development. All studied se-quences have the same configuration of soil profiles but variousthicknesses of diagnostic horizons.

The particle size distribution of Haplic Cambisols is proba-bly a function of the type of volcanic rocks and local conditions in the development of these soils. Chemical properties of the studied soils are influenced by the variability of volcanic rocks.

The results indicate that the quality of soil organic matter was probably closely connected with the source of biomass and climatic conditions of the individual sites.

Petrography of parent material allows to document differenc-es in the texture, character and amount of rock-forming minerals.

Smectite is the most characteristic clay minerals of the ana-lysed Haplic Cambisols on volcanic rocks. The main pedogenic process in soils developed on volcanic rocks is weathering of parent material and development of Bw horizon. The intensity of the soil development according to the type of volcanic rocks decreases in the succession andesite>dolerite>basalt.

Project No. 9347: Taxonomy of early spelaeoid bears (J. Wagner)The first phase of a detailed morphometric evaluation of ursidcheek teeth from the Late Biharian locality of Stránská skála (material is deposited in the Moravian museum, Brno) was real-ized. Obtained data will be used (together with data from other localities) as a basis for critical reevaluation of present-day tax-onomical model of early spelaeoid bears (Ursus gr. deningeri).

Project No. 9508: Fission track laboratory (J. Filip)The development of the new external detector method of

fission track dating analysis by using of titanite in cooperationwith with Nuclear Physics Institute CAS was continued. For sample irradiation was used the suitable irradiation channel at Řež reactor which acceptability for titanite dating was tested last year. Titanite standards Durango and Fish Canyon and real rock samples which come from amphibole-biotite granodiorite near Brno-Obřany and from the Demitz-Thumitz quarry (Ca-domian granodiorite complex of Radeberg-Löbau, FRG) were processed by standard separation methods and etched in accord-ance with the Wagner-Jonckheere method. Low-uranium mus-covite detectors were fastened on polished surfaces of samples and stacked in an irradiation cassette with CN5 glass neutron dosimeters and irradiated. Sample processing and measuring was done by two independent observers with a good agreement. Independent age determinations, ζ-calibration (ζ-factor), count-ing efficiency Q and range deficit R were measured and counted.The obtained results revealed the necessity of processing and measuring of rocks with different and sufficient titanite amountsfor subsequent testing of the method.

Ďurišová J. (2013): Metal separation using a combination of electrochemical and ion-exchange methods. Ph.D. Thesis.

Mutual separation of metals from aqueous solutions was in-vestigated using a method combining electrochemical valence control of metal ions in solution and ion exchange technolo-gy. Mutual separations of V-Mo, V-W, Re-W and Co-Ni were studied. The selective electrochemical reduction or oxidation of metal ions was performed in a laboratory flow-through elec-trolyser equipped with a three-dimensional carbon felt work-ing electrode. After that, separation on an ion exchange column with improved sorption selectivity was performed.

The V(V) polyoxovanadate anionic species were transformed to the V(IV) cation by the electro-reduction at weakly acidic pH. It was demonstrated that quantitative separation of this V(IV) from W(VI) is possible using a chelating sorbent with 1-deoxy-1-methyl-aminoglucitol functional group or using a strongly acidic cation exchange resin. The Mo(VI) polyoxovanadates were re-duced to Mo(V) species at -1.5 V vs. Ag/AgCl. The speciation of the obtained Mo(V) was dependent on pH and also on the accom-panying electrolyte. Quantitative mutual separation of Mo from V using a strongly acidic cation exchange resin was achieved after electro-reduction of both Mo and V. The reduced V(IV)

cation was taken up, while the reduced Mo(V) passed through the column. The perrhenate anion Re(VII) was electrochemical-ly reduced in citrate solution of pH 3 to 4, producing an anion-ic Re(V)-citrate complex. However, mutual separation from of Re(V) from W(VI) was not succesful due to the gradual back-oxi-dation of Re(V). Selectivity of a chelating resin with iminodiace-tic acid functional group was improved for Ni(II) over cobalt after electrochemical oxidation of the Co(II) cation to the Co(III) in oxalate solution. Selective adsorption of Ni(II) was achieved.

Mikuláš R. (72013): Fossil behaviour related to specific sub-strates: a review of the Phanerozoic fossil record. DSc. Thesis.

From the beginning of the Phanerozoic Eon (ca. 540 Ma) to the present, new substrates exploited by biota originated most-ly by the life activity itself. Alternatively, mineral substrates were strongly modified by biota. At the onset of the Phanerozo-ic, shifting or rapidly consolidating clastic bottoms were colo-nized; the proportion of other substrates, including rockgrounds, was negligible. Through geologic time, soft bioturbated bot-toms (firmgrounds and rockgrounds) appeared, being followedby woodgrounds, lithic and firm bioclasts (invertebrate shells,

bones, leaves etc.). The spread of the biosphere to terrestri-al settings broadened the variety of substrates more than any-thing else. Moreover, the already existing materials of marine or freshwater bottoms were diversified by biogenic processes, e.g.,by specific regimes of organic nutrient influx.

The appearance of new substrates brought, and still brings, new possibilities of life strategies. Therefore, a positive feed-back between new substrates and new behavioural patterns can be traced, however, only within the largest geologic timescale (eons and eras). The studies collected in this thesis helped to analyse the degree of this feedback. They were motivated by the effort to recognize, describe and understand the as yet over-looked forms of the fossil record related to the understudied substrates. They concern, among others, subaerial rockgrounds and firmgrounds, settings rich in xylic substrates and variousspecific marine environments.

The knowledge brought by these studies was incorporated into the broadly accepted but still developing concept of ichno-facies. Whenever possible and desirable, this knowledge also resulted in the erection of new ichnotaxa, i.e. morphologically recurring fossil traces of life activity.

Xylic substrates were studied, e.g., in the Holocene fluvialsediments of the Labe River. Numerous traces of insect lar-vae, of fungal enzymatic activity, and also man-made substrates were recognized. This suite has interconnected ichnology and archaeology in an unusual way. Three phases of the use of wood as substrate were recognized: 1, on living trees; 2, on dread trees before their burial in the sediment; 3, on exhumed semi-fossil tree trunks. Circumstances and proportions of the three types showed that most of the wood mass deposited by the river had been derived from live, “healthy” floodplain forests affect-ed by extreme floods. The recognized and interpreted traces sup-port the idea of erecting at least one terrestrial ichnofacies for xylic substrates; however, the Holocene material cannot be used for this purpose.

Terrestrial/subaerial rock surfaces are commonly used by organisms and can preserve specific traces. Among them, en-dolithic microborings of fungi and algae, macroborings made by lichens, traces of repeated locomotion of large mammals (e.g., polished surfaces in karst caves) and several varieties of root corrosion of higher plants are the most frequent examples. Preservation of these traces in the fossil record (i.e. passing the fossilization barrier) is rare but not impossible. With a compa-rable frequency, terrestrial/subaerial firmgrounds (claystones,marls or weakly cemented sandstones) bearing trace fossils of insects, mammals and plants can be preserved in the geologic record. Both the rockgrounds and the firmgrounds can be bur-ied, e.g., by volcanic ash, loess, travertine or tufa, or through surface hardening (rock crust formation) followed by the fall of the crust to talus sediments. Hard and firm terrestrial substrateshave (similarly to terrestrial woodgrounds) a potential for erect-ing a new ichnofacies.

The Coprinisphaera Ichnofacies is established for terrestrial soil substrates. Most of the hitherto described examples come

form the South American continent which has a specific, long-lasting regime of andesite volcanism. Volcanic ash periodically buries soil profiles with traces of organisms, leaving a uniquefossil record of terrestrial settings. The author of the thesis rec-ognized the Coprinisphaera Ichnofacies in the Oligocene of the Doupov Mts. built by basaltic ashes and lavas. Basaltic volcan-ism is generally characterized by frequent, relatively weak erup-tions. In the intervals between them, only early succession stag-es of plant and animal assemblages can usually develop. The author proposed to generalize these data through a subdivision of the Coprinisphaera Ichnofacies (C.I.) to the C.I. of andesite areas and C.I. of basalt areas.

Among the numerous observations and interpretations of trace fossil assemblages in marine settings, it was ascertained that the essentially high-energy and shallow-water Skolithos Ichnofacies can support massively used chemosymbiotic feed-ing strategy that has so far been considered available chiefly inlow-energy dysoxic settings.

The following ichnogenera proposed by the author have been diagnosed with regard to substrate criteria: Lamniporich-nus Mikuláš, Dvořák & Pek 1998, Nihilichnus Mikuláš, Kadle-cová, Fejfar & Dvořák 2006, Machichnus Mikuláš, Kadlecová, Fejfar & Dvořák 2006, Circolites Mikuláš 1992, Tombownich-nus Mikuláš & Genise 2003 and Lazaichnus Mikuláš & Genise 2003. These proposals were cited and accepted by subsequent researchers. The author proposed also numerous new ichnotaxa on the ichnospecific level, usually from the material resultingfrom the fieldwork appropriate to the grant projects he himselfcoordinated.

Navrátil T. (2011): The dynamics of mercury in the environe-ment. Habilitation thesis.

The dynamics of mercury in the environment deserves a special attention due to its high toxicity, ability to bioaccumu-late and enter the foodchain. Similar to any other elements, the atmospheric emissions of mercury to the environment can be divided to natural and anthropogenic. One of the natural sources of mercury emissions are forest fires. Mercury emissions fromthis natural source in the Czech Republic were quantified andassessed as negligible with respect to the anthropogenic ones. Other major sources of mercury for the environment were ore mining and processing industries. The surroundings of the min-ing and smelting areas have been heavily contaminated but the contamination did not disperse further due to relative stability of cinnabar in the soil. Mercury accumulates in forest soils and is strongly associated with the soil organic carbon. The output of mercury from forest ecosystems due to degradation of soil organic matter was evaluated as relatively minor with respect to the total deposition fluxes of mercury. Finally, time scale of theenvironmental contamination by mercury can be approached by studies of the geochemical archives such as peat or tree rings. The performed studies indicate the highest mercury emissions in the period from 1960s to 1980s.

International Congress: 16th International Congress of Speleo-logy, July 21–28, 2013, Brno. Organized by the Czech Speleolo-gical Society and Speleo2013 on behalf of the International Union of Speleology (UIS). The Institute of Geology of the CAS, v. v. i. served as the Congress Partner. Organizing committee: Pavel Bosák (Congress President), Zdeněk Motyčka (Speleo2013; Chair-man of the Organization Committee), Michal Filippi (ScientificSecretary) & 12 other committee members (Speleo2013).

The 16th International Congress of Speleology (ICS) was hosted by the Trade Fairs Brno – BVV (the Brno Exhibition Centre). The ICS was organized under the auspices of the Min-istry of Environment of the Czech Republic, of the Gover-nor of South Moravia – Mr. Michal Hašek and Mayor of Brno City – Mr. Roman Onderka. Fourteen domestic institutions were partners of the congress. Eleven domestic and foreign compa-nies supported the congress as sponsors. The congress revenue totaled ca 11.2 mio CZK (income from participation fees, dona-tions from partners, sponsorship, revenues from vendor stands and sales of congress materials). The expenses of the 16th Inter-national Congress of Speleology totaled ca 10.9 mio CZK (es-pecially the rental of the congress facilities, organization of ex-cursions, accommodation of participants, printing of congress materials and the acquisition of other congress materials). Sur-plus will be donated to the Czech Speleological Society.

The motto of the congress was “where history meets future” was inspired by a number of significant anniversaries which werecommemorated during the year of the congress; especially the 40th anniversary of the 6th International Congress of Speleology held in Czechoslovakia (Olomouc 1973).

The congress was attended by 1,007 participants from 53 countries, and from all continents. The largest groups were from the United States (147), Czech Republic (114), Germany (75), United Kingdom (58), and Italy (51). Totally 35 exhibitions and vendor stands were located in the SpeleoVillage, where in-dividual caving associations and clubs presented their activities, and offered wide range of speleological literature and materials.

The Scientific program started on Monday July 22 morningwith three invited plenary lectures: Assoc. Prof. Dr. Martin Oliva (Moravian Museum): The Moravian Karst in the anthropological perspective, Prof. Dr. Derek C. Ford (McMaster University, Ha-milton, Canada): From Olomouc 1973 to Brno 2013: a review of progress in physical Speleology during the past 40 years, and Prof. Dr. Annette Summers Engel (University of Tennessee, Knox-ville, USA): The caves that microbes built – the frontier of caves and karst science. The ICS scientific program was divided into11 main and 4 special sections. Peer-reviewed written contribu-tions were thematically summarized in three volumes of the Con-gress Proceedings, with a total of 1,459 pages (extended abstracts of 240 lectures and 74 posters; Filippi & Bosák 2013a–c).

The variety of competitions were organized traditionally during the ICS, such as photographic exhibition (Photo Salon; 880 photos from 28 authors, in 5 categories), presentation of maps (Cartography Salon; 43 submissions in 6 categories) and art (Art Salon) related to caves and caving, the best film competition(SpeleMedia; 20 authors with 25 entries), and sport competition (SpeleoOlympics; 145 persons competed in 6 categories).

Two UIS General Assemblies were held (July 21 and July 28) with the presence of 37 national delegates, the complete UIS Bu-reau and many guests attended. General Assemblies approved some principal UIS documents and elected new UIS Bureau for 2013–2017. Totally 19 UIS Departments, Commissions and Working Groups organized their meeting(s) and eventually also elections of officers. Special Round Table discussion about thecurrent state of knowledge and consequences of the White Nose Syndrome was also held during. It was organized in the coop-eration with the Institute of Vertebrate Biology CAS, v. v. i. and ČESON (Czech Bat Conversation Trust). The FEALC (South Ame-rican Speleological Association) and ISCA (International Show Caves Association) organized their meetings during the ICS. The traditional UIS Prizes were announced during the final ICS ban-quet in following categories: France HABE prize 2013; Explorat-ion Awards; Scientific Posters Awards, and Special Books Awards.

Field Trip of International Conference: 16th International Congress of Speleology, Brno. Pre-congress field trip B5CZBohemian Karst, July 15–20, 2013. Organized by Institute of Geology CAS, v. v. i.: K. Žák & S. Šlechta.

The field trip with duration of six days was organized for 13participants from six different countries (Australia, France, Is-

rael, Germany, Switzerland, USA). The scientific guides origi-nated from Institute of Geology CAS, Faculty of Science of the Charles University in Prague and National Museum in Prague. The main theme of the field trip was karsologic evolution of theBohemian Karst from the Cretaceous to the present. Each fieldtrip day had its special topic. Explanation of basic principles of local geology and of the karst evolution present on Monday, July 15 evening, was followed by a field trip to Koněprusy areaon Tuesday, July 16. The topic of this day was pre-Quaternary speleogenesis and importance of hydrothermal processes during the early karst evolution. Besides the visit to the Koněpruské jeskyně Cave, a surface hiking trip to the Kotýz area was also organized, with presentation of prehistoric fortified settlementand archaeological cave localities. Genetic and hydrogeologi-cal relationships between the Berounka River and the caves were the main topics of the following day. Caves important for Quaternary vertebrate paleontology were visited as well. Deep phreatic caves of the Čeřinka Quarry and history of limestone quarrying in the area of Amerika Quarries, including under-ground visit in the main adit of the Amerika-West part, were the main topics on Thursday, July 18. Hiking trip along paleokarst features of the upper level of Solvay’s Quarries terminated by a descent to Svatý Jan pod Skalou completed the program of this day. The Nad Kačákem Cave and unfinished adits of Ger-man World War II underground production plant in the Alkazar Quarry were visited on Friday, July 19. The most enthusiastic cavers could visit the most difficult cave of the area in the Javor-ka Hill in the afternoon of this day, while the others explored the beauties of the medieval Karlštejn Castle. The morning of Satur-day, July 20, was focused on recent karst hydrogeology and ac-cumulations of the Holocene calcareous tufa (and caves in them). Besides the Svatý Jan pod Skalou tufa body and the St. Ivan’s Cave developed in this tufa body, the tufa cascades in the Císař-ská Gorge near Srbsko village were also visited. The partici-pants received a printed field trip guide, which was also distri-buted to the main geoscientific libraries of the Czech Republic: ŽÁK K., KOMAŠKO A., BLÁHA V. & FALTEISEK L.

The research potential of the Institute is divided into 6 units:1. Department of Geological Processes extends the knowledge

of temperature, pressure and time conditions of different stages of magmatic process in crustal and upper mantle set-tings as well as of the set of hydrothermal, low- and high-

grade metamorphic processes. The evolution of sedimentary basins is studied with special reference to processes affecting the character of sedimentation and diagenesis, and to tectonic deformation of basin fills. Besides the employment of a clas-sical set of geological, petrographic and geochemical meth-

72RESEARCH REPORTS

2013

ods, new, progressive laboratory approaches have been devel-oped.

2. Department of Paleobiology and Paleoecology develops in four principal directions. These comprise the study of living conditions and biostratigraphy of invertebrate fossil groups (conodonts, corals, brachiopods, echinoderms and grapto-lites), evolution of vertebrate groups (fishes, amphibians andmammmals), palynology of Carboniferous and Cretaceous sediments, and paleoichnology in a broad stratigraphic range from the Ordovician to the Recent.

3. Department of Environmental Geochemistry and Geology in-tegrates the studies of chemical elements dynamics in the en-vironment with the geological processes, as they are recorded in sediments and soils formed during the Tertiary and Qua-ternary. Basic attention is given to the study of complicated interactions between biotic and abiotic components of the na-ture, climatic oscillations and environmental changes in the past, and anthropogenic impact on the present natural proc-esses.

4. Department of Paleomagnetism deals with paleomagnetism, magnetostratigraphy, mineral magnetism, geological inter-pretation of obtained data, and development of new labora-tory techniques. Research is focused on the determination of basic magnetic and paleomagnetic characteristics of Phaner-ozoic terrestrial and extraterrestrial materials including high-resolution magnetostratigraphy, and environmental magnet-ism. Data interpretations encompass geotectonic, stratigraph-ic and paleogeographic synthesis including paleoclimatic and human-impact reconstructions.

5. Laboratory of Physical Properties of Rocks concentrates on the study of strain response of ultrabasic rocks to a dual re-gime of loading and the analysis of changes of acoustic emis-sion and ultrasound permeability during sample loading. Ul-trasonic sounding of rocks and changes in their elastic anisot-ropy under high pressure are also investigated.

6. Laboratory of Physical Methods represents a service analyti-cal unit.

Specialized laboratoriesLaboratories of the Institute are not independent units. They are incorporated within the structure of scientific and service depart-ments. The following specialized laboratories have been set up:1. Paleomagnetic laboratory (Head: ing. Petr Pruner, DrSc.).2. Micropaleontological laboratory (Heads: RNDr. Ladislav

Slavík, CSc. & Pavel Lisý).3. X-ray powder diffraction laboratory (Head: RNDr. Roman

Skála, Ph.D.).4. Scanning electron microscope and electron microprobe labo-

ratory (Supervised by RNDr. Roman Skála, Ph.D.).5. Laboratory of rock processing and mineral separation (Head:

RNDr. Martin Šťastný, CSc.).6. Laboratory for thin and polished sections (Head: RNDr. Ro-

man Skála, Ph.D.).7. Laboratory of microscopy (Head: Mgr. Michal Filippi, Ph.D.).8. Sedimentary laboratory (Head: RNDr. Anna Žigová, CSc.).9. Fission track laboratory (Head: Mgr. Jiří Filip, CSc.).10. Laboratory of liquid and solid samples (Head: RNDr. Jan Ro-

hovec, Ph.D.).11. Mercury analysis laboratory (Head: RNDr. Tomáš Navrátil,

Ph.D.).12. LA-ICP-MS Laboratory (Supervised by Mgr. Martin Svojtka,

Ph.D. & Mgr. Jan Rohovec, Ph.D.)13. Clean Chemistry Laboratory (Supervised by Mgr. Lukáš Ack-

erman, Ph.D.)14. Laboratory of rock behavior under high pressure (Head: Ing.

Tomáš Lokajíček, CSc.).15. Laboratory of rock elastic anisotropy (Head: ing. Tomáš

Lokajíček, CSc.).The scientific concept of the Institute and the evaluation of itsresults lie within the responsibility of the Executive Board that includes both the internal and external members. Besides re-search, staff members of the Institute are involved in lecturing at universities and in the postgraduate education system. Special attention is also given to the presentation of the most important scientific results in the public media.

The chapter summarizes the list of the most important labora-tory equipment.

Paleomagnetic laboratory (Head: Ing. Petr Pruner, DrSc.) The Magnetic Vacuum Control System (MAVACS) (1984) is

a self-contained automatic system creating a limited space with the magnetic field eliminated, i.e. a non-magnetic environmentor magnetic vacuum. The operation of MAVACS is based on the feedback loop principle. The Earth’s magnetic field is compensat-ed for by the triaxial Helmholz Induction Coil System HELICOS. The resulting field difference is continually measured in each of itsthree axes by the Rotating Coil Magnetometer ROCOMA, which has its sensors installed inside the HELICOS. The output of the ROCOMA controls the Iduction Coil Control Unit ICCON, which supplies the HELICOS generating the compensating magnetic field. In this way the feedback loop is closed in all the three axes,thus securing a variation-free magnetic vacuum. The above men-tioned factors formed the basis for the development of a system which creates a magnetic vacuum in a space of about 5 litres below a value of ± 2nT, the typical offset of the magnetic field sensor be-ing smaller than ± 0.1nT. Multi-component analysis of the structure of the remanent magnetization and reproduction of the paleomag-netic directions even in rocks whose magnitude of secondary mag-netization represents 97 to 99 % of the magnitude of natural rema-nent magnetization, can be achieved accurately with this system.

The JR-6A and two JR-5A Spinner Magnetometers (2002, 1997, 2003) – the most sensitive and accurate instruments for measurement of remanent magnetization of rocks. All func-tions are microprocessor-controlled.The KLY-4S Kappabridge, CS-23 and CS-L Furnance Appa-ratus (2000) – sensitive, commercially available laboratory instrument for measuring anisotropy of magnetic susceptibil-ity (AMS) as well as bulk susceptibility and for measuring the temperature variation of susceptibility (from –190 to 700 °C).Two LDA -3 AF Demagnetizer (2000, 2002) – the process is microprocessor-controlled and automated.The MMPM 10 PULSE MAGNETISER (2006) and the mag-netizing coil serves for the induction of the isothermal rema-nent magnetization.

The AMU-1A Anhysteretic Magnetizer (2003) is an option to the LDA-3 AF demagnetizer. This equipment permits the de-liberate, controlled anhysteretic magnetization of a specimen.The KLF-4 magnetic susceptibility meter (2004) is designed for rapid and precise laboratory measurement of magnetic susceptibility of rocks, soils, and materials investigated in environmental studies in weak magnetic fields ranging intheir intensity from 5 A/m to 300 A/m.755 SRM for Discrete Samples with Automatic Sample Han-dler and AF Degausser (2007).Liquid helium-free Superconducting Rock Magnetometer (SRM), type 755 4K SRM (2007) – the set includes a measurement system, alternating field demagnetizer, three-layer permal-loy degauss shield, automatic sample holder, electronic unit and software. Sensitivity of the dipole moment is lower than 1×10-12 Am2 RMS for aperture size (sample size) of 4.2 cm. A system is including an automatic sample holder, permitting remanent magnetization measurement in three axes. Possibil-ity of remanent magnetization measurement is without sam-ple rotation.

Micropaleontological laboratory (Heads: RNDr. Ladislav Slavík, CSc. & Pavel Lisý)

The laboratory of micropaleontology disposes of room for sample preparation with standard equipment and chemicals and laboratory of sample processing with renovated laboratory hoods and other usual equipment.

3D scanner (Head: RNDr. Jaroslav Zajíc, CSc.)Two devices enable to collect and evaluate 3D data (as spa-

tial data clouds) of the real geologic or paleontological objects. The utility software allows many ways of measurements. With help of the additional software solution is subsequently possi-ble to model the virtual surfaces, virtual closed objects and any cross-sections. All virtual objects can be visualised and rotated with help of 3D modeling programs.

The MicroScribe® MX is a portable measurements system with metrology-level accuracy in six degrees of freedom. This system enables the 3D data collection efficiency of co-ordinate measurement systems at an affordable price. The

counter-balanced and intuitive articulation of the arm allows to quickly position the stylus into even tight spaces. The arm can reach up to 63 cm and the work sphere diameter is 1.27 m. The device works with precision up to 0.0508 mm and its weight is 5.4 kg. MicroScribe Utility Software (MUS) allows data acquisition for some applications that do not provide native support.The Kreon Skiron is a very compact, light and ergonomic 3D laser scanner. Fully integrated on the MicroScribe® desktop digitizer (MX series), this laser scanner dramatically reduc-es digitizing time. Laser of the class II can scan at speed up to 45000 points/second with accuracy of 50 µm. Maximum laser line is 75 mm, the measuring field is 65 mm, and stand-off distance is 50 mm. The line resolution is 83 µm and ver-tical resolution (sub-pixel) is 16 µm. Dimensions of the de-vice are 112 × 61 × 76 mm and its weight is only 260 g.Scantools 3D software gives access to the functionalities of the Skiron scanner. This easy to use software allows data collection in a very short time as well as processing them.The data processing is solved with help of the 3D NURBS modeling software Rhinoceros®. Two plug-ins are applied with the Rhinoceros: the Flamingo to raytrace rendering and the Bongo to animation creation.

X-ray powder diffraction laboratory (Head: RNDr. Roman Skála, PhD.)

PHILIPS X’Pert APD is an X-ray powder diffractometer used for routine jobs, mainly phase analysis. The diffractom-eter is of θ-2θ type. It is equipped with fixed divergence andreceiving optics, secondary graphite monochromator and a point proportional counter.X-ray powder diffractometer Bruker D-8 DISCOVER is a multipurpose diffractometer designed to study pow-dered samples or solid polycrystalline blocks (polished (thin)sections, rock chips etc.). Diffractometer is of the θ-2θ design and allows studying materials in both reflection andtransmission geometry. Optional focusing primary asymmet-ric monochromator of Johansson type produces pure Kα1 ra-diation. With unmounted monochromator the diffractometer may be operated in the classical parafocusing Bragg-Bren-tano arrangement with Ni-filter to remove part of continuousradiation and Kβ spectral line. Diffracted radiation is collect-ed with a position sensitive 1D silicon strip detector Lynx-Eye. For data collection in reflecting geometry, the sample isplaced either in a cavity of a PMMA sample holder or atop of a zero-background silicon holder. In transmission geom-etry, the powdered sample can be loaded either between two kapton foils or in a capillary positioned in a goniometric head. Next to these standard arrangements also various sec-tions or irregular chips of polycrystalline materials can be studied in microdiffraction setup.

To carry out phase analysis, the International Center for Diffrac-tion Data Powder Diffraction File (ICDD PDF-2) database is avail-able. Data manipulation and processing is realized through propri-etary software products of individual diffractometer producers.

Scanning electron microscope and electron microprobe laboratory (Head: RNDr. Roman Skála, PhD.)
